auctions of 2016 resulted in contracting energy from new solar power plants with a total capacity of
more than 3,5 GW to be built in the next 3 years. The new regulation for distributed generation as of
march 2017 will spur a dynamic market development. In this event, public and private sector
representatives will deliver firsthand information on different market segments, covering the third round
of clean energy auctions, business models for distributed generation and financing options for solar. A
matchmaking with representatives of Mexican companies will be facilitated.
