Improving and Refocusing Electricity Subsidies: Options for optimization in Mexico

This report, produced by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) in partnership with the CONECC German-Mexican Energy Partnership, identifies and evaluates options for reforming electricity subsidies in Mexico, specifically focusing on residential and agricultural consumers and the associated socioeconomic impacts.

• In 2016, electricity subsidies in Mexico totaled MXN 130 billion (USD 6.8 billion), with the vast majority (78 per cent) going to households, followed by the agricultural sector (11.3 per cent), industry (10 per cent), and services (0.7 per cent).
• The report evaluates reform options for electricity subsidies based on public discussions and proposals from Mexican experts, prioritizing the residential and agricultural sectors as the most subsidized categories.
