  "account": "Mexico is ramping up its renewable energy plans, with wind power growth projected to surge by 80% by 2030, reaching a capacity of 15 gigawatts, according to the Energy Ministry (SENER). Deputy Minister of Planning and Energy Transition, Jorge Islas Samperio, revealed at a forum that renewable energy generation is set to rise from 24.6% of Mexico's total portfolio in 2025 to over 38% by 2030. Samperio emphasized that renewables would secure more than 74% of new capacity additions, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric sources. The SENER plan earmarks 6.86 gigawatts of capacity additions, with 4.7 gigawatts already allocated to 17 wind farms. During the same forum, the state-owned utility CFE announced the approval of eight wind energy projects under mixed-ownership schemes, totaling 2.9 gigawatts. The projects, including 890 megawatts of battery storage, are slated for operation in Nuevo León and Tamaulipas by 2030, providing clean energy to northeastern Mexico's industrial centers. Energy Minister Luz Elena González presented the government's plan to add nearly 32.5 gigawatts of generation capacity to the national grid by 2030, with approximately 22 gigawatts — around 70% of the total — coming from renewable resources, primarily solar (55%) and wind (30%). González estimated that cumulative investment across CFE, joint ventures, and private projects would reach 739 billion pesos (US$ 41.9 billion). Deputy Minister Samperio underscored the importance of developing Mexico's wind energy value chain, including manufacturing, construction, and farm operations, to meet growing electricity demand, spur industrial development, and realize Mexico's energy transition objectives. AMDEE President Gerardo Pérez Guerra pointed out the necessity of legal certainty, public-private collaboration, and transmission network expansion to attract new investments in infrastructure and energy storage.",
