Analysis
Mexico recorded 154.17 terawatt-hours for primary energy from low-carbon energy in 2025.
That represents a change of down 1.0% on the previous year and up 1.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from low-carbon energy in Mexico peaked at 165.72 terawatt-hours in 2022 and was at its lowest, 8.86 terawatt-hours, in 1965.
That places Mexico 20th out of 77 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
