Renewable energy companies that make up the Mexican Wind Energy Association (AMDEE) and the Mexican Solar Energy Association (ASOLMEX), allocated 257 million pesos to support the most vulnerable communities during the health emergency caused by Covid-19 in Mexico. In an interview, Daniela Medina, coordinator of Communication and Public Affairs of the AMDEE, explained that so far 130 thousand families from 25 states of the Republic have benefited with the delivery of 113 thousand food supplies. “In the renewable energy sector, in addition to focusing on the generation of electricity and caring for the environment, we are interested in the well-being of Mexicans and that is why we have been very close to the communities in the regions where we install wind farms,” he assured. He added that 380 thousand units of medical protective equipment were also delivered to clinics, including face shields, N95 masks, disposable surgical gowns, prevention kits to health units, gloves and various disinfectant liquids. Likewise, in an alliance between the federal government and the private initiative, as part of the “Together for Health” program, the companies that make up this association also participated in the delivery of 2,000 respirators to clinics throughout the country.
On the other hand, he pointed out that through 11 working groups, the AMDEE has been in charge of aligning the conduct of its associates in matters of Human Rights with international standards of corporate social Bulgaria Mobile Number List responsibility (CSR). “Everything that is implemented in the different areas must cover the minimum standards of respect for the communities and their individual rights,” he noted. However, he added that “each of the companies has its own social responsibility policies” and they are implemented in accordance with their policy guidelines. In Mexico there are wind farms in 14 states of the Republic, mainly in Oaxaca, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas and Coahuila, which generate 7,515 MW of electrical energy, that is, 8% of the energy generated in the country. According to the document “The Mexican wind potential. Opportunities and challenges in the new sector", the regulation in Mexico establishes the indicative objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2020, in addition to limiting electricity generation from fossil sources from 80% to 65% for the year .
Definitive suspension against Cenace Recently, the renewable energy sector attracted attention due to the Agreement of the National Energy Control Center (Cenace) and the Reliability Policy of the Ministry of Energy (Sener). At the end of April, said Agreement was issued to guarantee the efficiency, quality, reliability, continuity and security of the national electrical system, due to the epidemic, which limited permits for the construction of wind and solar plants in the country. Last Friday, August 14, the Mexican Center for Environmental Law (CEMDA) was granted the definitive suspension of the amparo filed jointly with Greenpeace Mexico, against In this regard, Anaid Velasco, Research Coordinator of the Mexican Center for Environmental Law (CEMDA) indicated that “the definitive suspension is a great achievement because it confirms that acts of authority, even when dealing with strategic activities, must comply with human rights. In this case, the human right to a healthy environment and the human right to health.” He highlighted that this fact is an important step because “it contributes to the decarbonization of the energy matrix and allows us to move towards less polluting energy models.
