(Fri, 31 Mar 2023) Pemex (Mexico’s state-owned oil company) reported a profit of 23 billion pesos (US $1.2 billion) in 2022 aided by higher oil prices. This is the first time the company posted a profit in a decade on an annual basis. Recently, increasing private investment and rising condensate production helped reverse a downward trend in Mexico’s oil production that began in 2004. In 2022, Mexico’s oil production was nearly 2 million barrels per day (b/d).

(Thu, 02 Mar 2023) Algeria is a major crude oil and natural gas producer in Africa and has been a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) since 1969, about 10 years after Algeria first began producing crude oil. Algeria imports very little energy as its domestic consumption is met by its own oil and natural gas production, which is heavily subsidized. Natural gas and oil account for almost all of Algeria's total primary energy consumption.

Minnesota utilities would be obligated to transition to 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040 to step up the fight against climate change under a bill passed by the Legislature.

The bill was passed by the Senate on Feb. 2 and cleared the House the week prior. It’s a top priority for Democrats, who control both chambers, and for Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, who has made it an important part of his climate agenda. The bill is now ready to be signed into law by the governor.

There are now 75 community solar farms operating within ComEd's northern Illinois service territory.

ComEd and Summit Ridge, a developer and owner-operator of community solar farms, announced the completion of the 2.5 MW Speedway Solar project 10 miles south of Joliet, Ill.

Distributed energy developers, utilities, regulators, and key stakeholders are preparing to come together in San Diego, California on February 6th to take on the critical issue of interconnection at the GridTECH Connect Forum.

Renewable Properties, a developer and investor in small-scale utility and community solar projects, signed power purchase agreements for five projects with Pacific Gas and Electric that will serve disadvantaged communities.

Totaling nearly 30 MW, the five solar projects are part of California’s Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) and Community Solar Green Tariff (CS-GT) programs.
