Sustainability of the Energy Sector in Mexico from 2000 to 2020 ()
ABSTRACT
Mexican government has sought a balance,
through various public policies, regarding economic growth and social welfare and
having a minimum impact on the environment.
The objective of this article is to evaluate whether the energy supply in Mexico has become more
sustainable between 2000 and 2020, a fundamental premise for any energy
system. The analysis is based on a methodological combination of those
approaches adopted by the Latin American Energy Organization and those by the
World Energy Council, which are international
institutions of great prestige in the Energy field. Even though results obtained by several authors show advances
and setbacks, the overall result has been a notorious setback in terms
of sustainability. These results were compared with those published by the
World Energy Council and some notable
differences were observed. Analyzed authors conclude that more accurate, effective and sustained public policies are
required in the long term to make the energy supply increasingly sustainable
in Mexico.
