Antonius, AndrésAwerburch, ShimonBerger, MartinHertzmark, DonaldHuacuz V., Jorge M.Merino, Gustavo2014-04-222014-04-222006-02https://hdl.handle.net/10986/17956The four studies in this technical paper series deal with complementary themes and propose solutions to the same problems that all of them perceive in the Mexican electricity sector - yet each paper looks at the problem from a different angle, and proposes different actions that must be taken in order to bring about a significant increase in Mexico's adoption of on-grid renewable energy. These papers take us from the general overview of the policy and institutional context, down to the specific case of a hypothetical wind farm. They review the current situation, identify concrete policy and institutional changes that are badly needed to stimulate the sector, look at how new paradigms for valuation can help us to better account for the value of renewable energy capacity, and finally perform a thorough economic impact analysis of the hypothetical addition of a large wind farm to Mexico's grid.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYAPPROACHBAGASSEBARREL OF OILBIOGASCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON INTENSITYCARBON OFFSETCLEAN DEVELOPMENTCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATE CHANGECOALCOMBUSTIONCONSUMPTION OF FOSSILCOOKINGCRUDE OILDEMAND FOR ENERGYECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMICSECONOMISTSELASTICITY OF DEMANDELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTELECTRICAL GENERATIONELECTRICAL POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY PRODUCERSELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONELECTRICITY SECTORELECTRICITY USEEMISSIONSENERGY ACTIVITIESENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY EXPERTSENERGY MIXENERGY NEEDSENERGY PLANNERSENERGY PLANNINGENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SECTORENERGY SECURITYENERGY SOURCESENERGY STRATEGYENERGY SUPPLYENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL EXTERNALITIESENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESFEEDSTOCKFLOOD PROTECTIONFORESTRYFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL PRODUCTIONFOSSIL FUELSFUELFUEL OILFUEL PRICESFUEL PRODUCTIONFUEL USEGASGAS TURBINEGAS TURBINESGENERATIONGENERATION CAPACITYGEOTHERMALGEOTHERMAL ENERGYGEOTHERMAL POWERGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASSESGRID RENEWABLE ENERGYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEATHEAT ENERGYHEAVY RELIANCEHYDROCARBONSHYDROELECTRIC ENERGYHYDROELECTRIC POWERIMPORTSINCOMEINDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERSINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYLANDFILLLANDFILL SITESLIVING STANDARDSLNGMARGINAL COSTNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS OUTPUTNATURAL GAS PRICESNATURAL RESOURCESNEW PLANTSNO ACCESS TO ELECTRICITYOILOIL COMPANYOIL FIELDSOIL PRICEOIL PRICESOIL PRODUCTIONOIL RESERVESPEAK DEMANDPEAK PRODUCTIONPETROLEUMPETROLEUM GASPILOT PROJECTSPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOWERPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PRODUCERPOWER PRODUCERSPOWER SECTORPOWER SECTOR PLANNINGPOWER SYSTEMPRESENT VALUEPRICE SUBSIDIESPUBLIC GOODQUOTASREDUCING EMISSIONSRENEWABLE DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY CAPACITYRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE ENERGY FACILITIESRENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATIONRENEWABLE ENERGY OPTIONSRENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIALRENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCERSRENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTRENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT EXPERIENCERENEWABLE ENERGY SECTORRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESRENEWABLE GENERATORSRENEWABLE POWERRENEWABLE PRODUCTIONRENEWABLE PROJECTSRENEWABLE RESOURCERENEWABLE RESOURCESRENEWABLE SOURCESRENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIESSMALL HYDROSOCIAL COSTSSOLAR ENERGYSOLAR HOME SYSTEMSSOLAR WATER HEATERSSOLID WASTESUNLIGHTSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTARIFF STRUCTURETECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESSTHERMAL PLANTTHERMAL PLANTSTRADITIONAL FUELUTILITIESVARIABLE COSTSWILLINGNESS TO PAYWINDWIND CAPACITYWIND COSTSWIND ENERGYWIND FARMWIND POWERWIND PROJECTWINDSWOODWOOD FUEL10.1596/17956
