Figures published by Mexico’s National Energy Commission show solar accounted for more than 99.5% of distributed generation capacity in systems smaller than 0.7 MW at the end of 2025.
Distributed solar generation in Mexico reached an installed capacity of 5,164.98 MW across 600,368 applications by the end of 2025, according to updated figures from the country’s National Energy Commission (CNE).
Total distributed generation from interconnected power plants smaller than 0.7 MW reached 5,189.71 MW across 600,651 processed applications, CNE data adds, meaning solar represents over 99.5% of the total.
The estimated investment associated with the solar systems amounts to $13.217 billion, based on a capital expenditure of $2,559/kW. The total estimated investment across all distributed generation technologies reaches $13.336 billion.
CNE’s figures, covering 2007 to 2025, show that distributed generation has maintained steady growth since the implementation of Resolution RES/142/2017, which established the legal, technical and financial framework for distributed generation.
