Drought, Water Stress Could Affect Mexico's Clean Energy Plans -- Market Talk
1545 ET - A drought in Mexico this year and a likely increase in water stress could affect Mexico's plans to generate more clean energy, Moody's Investors Service said. The country's national water commission sees a likely increase in water stress over the coming years, Moody's said. "Water scarcity will limit hydroelectric power generation capacity, complicating Mexico's efforts to reach its target of generating 35% of electricity from clean energy sources by 2024," Moody's said. Regional and local governments may also be affected as they work to provide potable water, sewerage and other services, according to Moody's. (stephen.nakrosis@wsj.com)
1545ET-穆迪投資者服務公司(Moody‘s Investors Service)表示，墨西哥今年的乾旱和可能加劇的水資源壓力可能會影響墨西哥生產更多清潔能源的計劃。穆迪説，中國國家水利委員會認為未來幾年水資源壓力可能會增加。穆迪稱，“缺水將限制水力發電能力，使墨西哥在2024年實現清潔能源發電量佔總發電量35%的目標的努力變得更加複雜.”根據穆迪的説法，地區和地方政府在努力提供飲用水、排污和其他服務時也可能受到影響。
