The Secretariat of Energy Development (SEDENER) has initiated training for personnel to obtain certification in photovoltaic system installations. This program, part of the ‘Electrification to 100%’ initiative, aims to improve technical quality and safety for residential, commercial, and industrial solar projects to promote energy justice in underserved communities.

Officials have reported Secretary of Energy Development Walter Julián Ángel Jiménez has attributed frequent power outages and a high prevalence to decades of infrastructure neglect and insufficient investment in distribution networks since the 2000s, leading to aging equipment and capacity shortages within the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE).
