Germany and Mexico work together to enhance a just energy transition, characterized by the efficient use of energy and renewable energies to meet their international commitments.
We support dialogue between decision makers from public sector, private sector and civil society. We promote exchange of best-practices and communicate about the energy transition.
Facts & Figures
Population
Mexico and Germany are among the 20 most populated countries in the world and in their respective regions. Mexico is the third most populated country in America, while Germany is the first in Europe.

Total Final Energy Consumption
Even though Mexico has a large population, its energy consumption remains fairly low in comparison to Germany. As a middle-income country, Mexico has opportunities to grow and alleviate poverty based on a clean energy consumption. Growing the economy and expanding Mexico’s middle-class while supporting CO2 emissions reduction goals requires greater energy efficiency and renewable energy production.
In the case of Germany, the Energiewende sets the baseline for a transformation of the way energy is produced and consumed, maintaining the patterns of use of energy.

Clean Energy Goals for 2050
Both Germany and Mexico have set themselves ambitious goals for 2050 to transform their electricity sectors. While Mexico’s goals for 2050 includes cogeneration as well as CCS, since the country starts from a much lower level compared to Germany. Interim goals are set at 35% by 2024. At the same time, Germany is set to reach climate neutrality by 2050, its electricity supply should consist of at least 80% percent share of renewable energy by 2030. There are also intermediate targets of 40% to 45% share by 2025.

Milestones
Through the joint efforts of Mexican and German actors, our partnership continues to enhance bilateral exchanges and supports the transformation of our energy systems.
What we can do for you
Support Political Dialogue
The German-Mexican Energy Partnership is a platform supporting a high-level intergovernmental dialogue on energy matters. We prepare and facilitate high-level meetings. We support the implementation of agreed activities. We organize the exchange between relevant institutions in Germany and Mexico.
Promote Best-Practice Exchange
Nobody is forced to repeat the mistake of the other. To learn from one another is therefore key to the German-Mexican Energy Partnership. We arrange and accompany expert delegations. We organize workshops and trainings-on-the-job. All for the sake of promoting what is already there: best-practice.
Connect Business and Politics
We build bridges between politics and business, facilitate access to decision-makers and help you make your position being heard in the partnership countries.
Enhance Energy Transition Communication
Clear communication translates undertakings into understanding. We do communicate through various channels. About the Energiewende and the Transición Energética. Here and there. Online and offline.
