Mexico Total Energy Production & Consumption

Since 2020, primary energy consumption has increased by 2%/year, reaching 192 Mtoe in 2025. Total primary consumption per capita reached 1.5 toe/cap in 2025, a level higher than in Colombia (0.9 toe/cap) but 7 times lower than in the US (6.5 toe/cap).

Between 2010 and 2025, the share of oil in the primary mix fell from 51% to 44%, while the share of gas increased by 9 pp to 40%. Primary electricity accounted for 6% of the primary mix in 2025 (+ 1 pp since 2010), followed by biomass (6%, stable) and coal (5%, - 3 pp).

Mexico Oil Production & Consumption

Since 2023, oil production has decreased by 6%/year reaching 87 Mt in 2025, after a period of slow increase between 2020 and 2023 (+1%/year). Previously, between 2012 and 2020, it has declined by 5%/year.

Ku-Maloob-Zaap (KMZ) remained Mexico's largest oil-producing asset in 2025, with average crude oil production of approximately 0.54 Mb/d (1/3 of Mexico's total crude oil production). KMZ is experiencing a sustained natural decline. Production has fallen significantly from its peak of approximately 0.88 Mb/d in 2018.

Mexico Natural Gas Production & Consumption

Since 2023, gas production has declined by 6.7%/year to 39 bcm in 2025. Previously, it increased by 6.5 %/year over the 2019-2023 period.

Since 2022, gas imports have increased by 6.5%/year to 56 bcm in 2025. In 2025, they came mainly from the United States by pipe (98%). LNG imports are limited (2%).

The country's gas transmission system is made up of around 17 000 km of gas pipelines.

Mexico Coal and Lignite Production & Consumption

After reaching a peak at 20 Mt in 2011, coal production has been divided by 4 (-9%/year) to 5 Mt in 2025.

Since 2023, coal imports have fallen by 7%/year, reaching 9 Mt in 2025, after increasing by 17%/year between 2020 and 2023. Mexico imports are mostly coming from the United States (70%).

Mexico Renewable in % Electricity Production

According to PLADASE, Mexico set an objective of increasing the share of "clean generation" in the power mix (PV, hydro, wind, solar thermal, efficient cogeneration, nuclear, geothermal and bioenergy) to 38% in 2030 and 48% in 2039. This target is higher than the goal of 35% set by the General Law on Climate Change in 2024.

Three Clean Energy Auctions have been organised by CENACE; the last one, in 2017, selected 15 projects totalling 2.6 GW, with an average bid price of US$20.6/MWh.

Mexico GHG emissions and CO₂ emissions

In its 3rd NDC (2025), Mexico pledged to reduce GHG emissions to 364-404 MtCO2e unconditionally — and 332-363 MtCO2eq with international support — by 2035; By 2035, Mexico aims to reduce black carbon emissions to 39.7-35.8 MtCO2 under its unconditional commitments, with more ambitious reductions to 35.8-32.6 MtCO2 contingent upon receiving international support and cooperation.
