Keys to Wind Energy Development in Baja California

Recent wind modeling shows that the mountainous region just south of the US-Mexican border could support three times more wind power than the entire wind capacity of California today. The proximity of this resource to the substantial renewable energy market in California has set the stage for a significant new cross-border market for wind energy produced in Baja California. Lawyers should be prepared to advise their clients on a number of unique legal and regulatory challenges facing such a venture.
