}}Energy in Mexico describes energy, fuel, and electricity production, consumption, and import in Mexico.
In 2008, Mexico produced 234 TWh of electricity, of which, 86 TWh was from thermal power stations, 39 TWh from hydropower, 18 TWh from coal, 9.8 TWh from nuclear power, 7 TWh from geothermal power and 0.255 TWh from wind power.{{Cite web |url=http://www.energia.gob.mx/webSener/portal/index.jsp?id=71 |title=Electricidad, SENER |access-date=2009-12-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091219204310/http://www.energia.gob.mx/webSener/portal/index.jsp?id=71 |archive-date=2009-12-19 |url-status=dead }} Mexico is among the world's top oil producers and exporters.
In 2022, Mexico's total energy supply (TES) consisted of oil, accounting for 44.3%, with natural gas at 39.0%, and coal at 5.5%. Biofuels and waste constituted 5.0% of the total, while other renewables, such as hydro, wind, and solar, combined to form 4.8%. Nuclear energy contributed a minor portion, representing 1.5% of the overall energy supply.{{Cite web |title=Mexico - Countries & Regions |url=https://www.iea.org/countries/mexico/energy-mix |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=IEA |language=en-GB}}
