Mexico Wind

Provenance, tier, and validation record for mexico-wind. No live curtailment figures on this page — those are on the globe.

Region id: mexico-wind
Country: MEX
Waste modality: Wind
Coordinates: 16.50° N, 95.00° W

Estimated Data quality

Tier

estimated · T3-modelled

No live feed and no published total for this region. A typical-shape profile is scaled to a capacity-based or literature anchor.

Modelled profile, scaled to annual (±40%)

Uncertainty

±40% of peak GW

Published envelope for this tier. See the uncertainty model.

Source provenance

official-lead · Official source identified, live path not producing

An authoritative source exists and the loader is wired or scaffolded, but the live path is not producing usable data — geoblocked, auth-gated, or parser pending. The emitted snapshot falls back to modelled or last-good values.

Source

CENACE Generación Liquidada relay CSV. Generation measured. Waste unpublished. Not T1a.

Tier, provenance, and source are read at build time from src/lib/regions.ts — the same table the globe draws from. The validation record below is generated separately and gated against it by npm run ci:docs-drift.

Discrepancy analysis

Per-fuel split of the former single mexico region (2026-06-17). The ~1.2 TWh anchor covered both northern-grid solar and Oaxaca wind, but was emitted as one "solar" region — splitting corrects the fuel attribution. Modelled T3; promote if CENACE ever exposes a measured feed.

Known limitations

Magnitude is a modelled estimate (typical wind shape × an annual anchor), not a measured series. ±40% T3 envelope. Mexican curtailment is real (transmission-constrained Oaxaca/Tehuantepec) but low and unquantified at the hourly level.
