"In 2008, Mexico enacted a law (known in English as the “Renewable Energies Exploit and Energy Transition Financing Law” and also known by its Spanish acronym LAERFTE). The 2008 law set forth Mexico’s strategy to favor policies, programs, actions and projects that were oriented toward increased usage of renewable energy sources and clean technologies, that promoted energy efficiency and sustainability, and that decreased oil dependency as the main source of energy."
