Mexican solar energy association Asolmex has revealed in provisional figures that the country had installed 828 GW of solar capacity by 2018, following the grid connection of schemes including Enel's 3 MW Villanueva plant, the biggest solar project in the Americas. Asolmex also cited the cancellation of a 15% levy on solar module imports and the Federal Electricity Commission's decision to drop the "Amparo" legal provisions against net metering rules for distributed generation. Asolmex said solar power plants' installed capacity grew by more than 1,800% last year.
