Within the framework of the activities of the “Financial Innovation Laboratory Mexico” (LABMexico) promoted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the German Cooperation for Sustainable Development in Mexico (GIZ) during the month of March 2021, the report entitled “Presentation of a roadmap for financing distributed generation in Mexico” was presented.

This roadmap seeks to accelerate financing programs promoted by different actors in the financial sector in response to the recovery of the economy in a post-pandemic environment, recognizing that energy efficiency and distributed generation are realities that generate significant savings in companies while contributing to combat climate change.

The Roadmap presented was the result of a participatory process involving commercial banks, development banks, non-bank financial institutions, and distributed generation integrators and suppliers. It is a proposal for coordinated design and implementation steps aimed at deploying distributed generation financing as a proven mechanism to democratize energy.

A year after its presentation, it is time to review the market conditions considering the definitions of the regulatory and economic environment in the country.
