Renewable Energy and Social Impacts

While Mexico accelerates its effort toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar and geothermal; the potential for conflict with local communities over land use increases.  USAID/Mexico would like to assist the Government of Mexico (GOM) to create an environment conducive to renewable energy development.  One area that USAID believes could be beneficial would be to mitigate and prevent potential social conflict with regards to renewable energy expansion.

This FAR part 10 Request for Information (RFI) is issued for interested organizations and individuals to provide information, opinions, and recommendations on approaches for the design of a possible activity to address social conflict with regards to the renewable energy sector in Mexico.
