National Electric System Development Program 2024-2038 (Programa de Desarrollo del Sistema Eléctrico Nacional 2024-2038)

The National Electric System Development Program (PRODESEN) 2024-2038 is one of the Mexico’s principal public policy instrument for the annual planning of the National Electric System (SEN) over a fifteen-year horizon, aligned with the National Development Plan (PND) 2019–2024 and embodying the current government’s energy policy objectives in the electricity sector. It integrates key components from related planning frameworks, such as the Indicative Programme for the Installation and Retirement of Power Plants (PIIRCE), and the expansion and modernisation programmes for the National Transmission Network (RNT) and General Distribution Networks (RGD). The PRODESEN prioritises the role of the state-owned Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) in generation, transmission, and distribution, with plans to develop new power plants, rehabilitate and modernise hydroelectric facilities, and enhance system reliability, efficiency, and affordability.In terms of climate change and energy transition, the PRODESEN is underpinned by Mexico’s commitments to international environmental agreements, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Paris Agreement, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with a focus on reducing GHG emissions and promoting sustainable energy practices. It outlines a structured approach to increasing clean and renewable energy generation, emphasising the gradual and orderly integration of these sources into the energy mix, supported by necessary grid infrastructure development. The programme also highlights energy efficiency, electromobility, and the expansion of electricity access to rural and marginalised urban areas, aligning energy policy with environmental protection and sustainable development goals, while ensuring system stability and economic viability.
