In her inaugural address, Mexico's first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum, outlined a significant departure from the energy policies of her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. She emphasized a renewed focus on renewable energy sources, aiming for a 45% share of total electricity production by 2030.
Sheinbaum's commitment to an energy transition program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions signals a shift towards sustainability and cleaner energy alternatives. This marks a notable change from López Obrador's staunch support for fossil fuels, which led to a downgrade in Mexico's climate action rating.
