Carlos Moedas, European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, and Pedro Joaquín Coldwell, Mexican Secretary of Energy, announced the result in the margins of the Clean Energy Ministerial Meeting on 2 June in San Francisco.

Commissioner Moedas said: "Mexico's vast geothermal resources provide a unique opportunity to apply and fine-tune production technologies that are being developed in Europe. It is an excellent example of how joint efforts work to the benefit of everyone involved. But this is just the start of a fruitful cooperation between the European Union and Mexico on renewable energy technologies."
