III. NATIONAL ACTIVITIES MEXICO 14.6 Economics 14.6.1 Trends in Geothermal Investment Foreseen As mentioned above, although the target for geothermal development in the present federal administration has been met, studies are underway in CFE for future developments on the order of 50 MWe in Los Humeros, 100 MWe in Cerro Prieto and 75 MWe in Cerritos Colorados (La Primavera), as well as the development of new fields in Acoculco, San Pedro, La Soledad and Tacaná. 14.6.2 Trends in the Cost of Energy The increase of the average price for electricity has accelerated in the last few years (ca 5.4% from 2000 to 2001 and 14% from 2001 to 2002), reflecting, in part, the trend in fossil fuel prices and also the reduction of subsidies for certain consumer sectors. 14.7 Research Activities Most geothermal research activities in Mexico are focused on development and exploitation of resources for power generation. Specifically, they are aimed to improve the knowledge of the fields and thus the ability to predict their behaviour under continued exploitation. Some effort is spent in the exploration of new areas with geothermal potential. The federal government funds practically all geothermal research. 14.8 GeothermalEducation The University of the State of Baja California (UABC) offers a Geothermal Training Program (10-months long) which, in addition to the program offered by Iceland and the one previously offered by New Zealand, has been utilized by CFE to train some of their young engineers. During the last three years CFE has sent young engineers for training to Japan, under an agreement between JICA and the Mexican government. For the most part, mechanical, electrical, chemical and geological engineers are trained on the job, as part of their professional development in CFE and the Instituto de Investigaciones Eléctricas (IIE). Periodic professional meetings (congresses, seminars, etc.) provide a basis for continued education of geothermal personnel. 14.9 International Cooperative Activities CFE signed a cooperative agreement with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) to do a feasibility study of the Cerritos Colorados project (75 MWe). The study is being conducted by West Japan Engineering Consultants. Mexico, through IIE and CFE, has participated in the activities of Annex I (Environmental Impacts of Geothermal Energy Development) and Annex IV (Deep Geothermal Resources), and is now participating in Annex VII (Advanced Geothermal Drilling Technologies) of the Geothermal Implementing Agreement. In 2004, IIE continued a project for the evaluation of low and intermediate enthalpy geothermal resources in Mexico and Central America, with the aim of promoting direct uses of this energy source. This project is partially supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Authors: J. L. Quijano León, Comisión Federal de Electricidad and D.
