Mexico Electricity Generation
Net electricity generation in Mexico totaled 363,754 GWh in 2025 (OECD/IEA Monthly Electricity Statistics: Generation (MESGEN) net generation statistics). Rank among mapped countries: #10. Renewable share: 21.6%.
Data are collected from the Centro Nacional de Control de Energía (CENACE). Monthly reporting of electricity production does not include autoproducers, therefore it is estimated by the IEA Secretariat based on annual submission. Installations under 500 kW are not included in the reporting data, therefore it is estimated by the IEA Secretariat based on annual submission. Electricity trade data is estimated by Mexico administration. It may be inconsistent with US data flows. This data is currently under review. The data source changed in January 2020 and the data processing was then updated so that data is consistent in the whole set. Monthly reporting does not include the breakdown for conventional thermal production, therefore it is estimated by the IEA Secretariat. Monthly electricity production data does not include trade data, transmission and distribution losses or hydro used for pumped storage which are estimated by the IEA Secretariat.
