Energy Efficiency Partnership.On March 15 in London, Mexico's Secretariat of Energy and United Kingdom authorities signed off on Mexico's formal entry to the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership REEEP, the "Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership" is an active, global public-private partnership that was launched by the United Kingdom along with other partners at the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in August 2002. (REEEP REEEP Renewable Energy and Energy Efficient Partnership ). The incorporation of Mexico to the partnership will allow Mexico to accelerate the regulatory and legal changes necessary to encourage the incorporation of renewable energies Renewable energy utilizes natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, and hydroelectricity to biomass and biofuels for transportation. and expansion of energy efficiency programs. These changes are necessary to improve energy security and to promote sustainable development Sustainable development is a socio-ecological process characterized by the fulfilment of human needs while maintaining the quality of the natural environment indefinitely. The linkage between environment and development was globally recognized in 1980, when the International Union . Mexico will benefit from the support and experience of other member countries and is committed to identifying and implementing good practices and improved policies and regulations. It will also seek to create effective financial mechanisms to promote the deployment of renewable energies and energy efficient technologies and turn them into economically viable options. At present, Mexico has applied for REEEP funding to improve the development of methodologies to estimate the contribution of intermittent renewable energies to the capacity of the National Grid national grid Noun Brit & NZ 1. a network of high-voltage power lines linking major electric power stations 2. the arrangement of vertical and horizontal lines on an ordnance survey map System.
