Fotowatio sues Mexico before the ICSID, the arbitration body of the World Bank. The company alleges violation of the investment protection treaty between Spain and Mexico in renewable energies.

It is one more chapter in the confrontation of the Government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador with energy companies. The Mexican Government has been in confrontation for years with companies in the renewable energy sector over restrictions on the operation of plants. In 2019, several multinationals launched litigation against the Clean Energy Certificates, an instrument designed to boost private investment.
