Mexico is developing very fast and its requirement for energy is also increasing Mexico rapidly installing wind power projects. As per analysis and predictions of the energy experts Mexico can ramp up wind power energy from 1,000 MW of current capacity to as much as 12 GW by 2020

The prediction was made at 19th Annual Border Energy Forum, organized here last week by the Texas Land Office, by Pablo Gottfried Blackmore, a member of the directors council of the Asociación Mexicana de Energía Eólica, the country's national wind trade group.

Others at the forum, including Mannti Cummins, the wind energy director for American Shoreline Inc., also echoed bullish predictions for the country's wind potential.

"Our goal is 12 GW, and the Secretaria de Energia already has adopted that number," Blackmore said. "Studies we have analyzed seem to agree that there is 20 GW of wind potential in Mexico that would be competitive with gas prices," he added. "It is critical to bring in the small producers to reach this goal, however," he said.
