Energy, 1988, vol. 13, issue 10, 787-796

Abstract: The establishment of priorities in the selections of alternative sources of energy has been studied for the Mexican electrical sector in the year 2000. A hierarchial analytical process has been implemented as a priority-setting framework and the net present value method was used for economic evaluation. Reasonable electrical requirements and proven reserves of alternative energy sources were considered, as well as possible future social, technological and financial factors. Three different diversification policies were analyzed. A list of the probable participation by source is obtained. Also, a reference cost for electricity and break-even capital costs for alternative energy systems are obtained.
