Abstract
The concept of security is very important for the economic and social development of any region, state or country. In particular, the concept of energy security is now more important due to the negative effects of climate change and the high dependence on fossil fuels. Thus, the traditional energy security based on the use of fossil fuels is becoming highly questionable and renewable energies seem to be the best option to provide true energy security taking care of the environment and society in general. This chapter presents the current framework of renewable energy systems that impacts the energy performance and availability in the state of Baja California (which is part of the Cali-Baja region, formed by the hypothetical union of the states of California and Baja California) with the objective of promoting the energy security of the state. Finally, an analysis and conclusion regarding the energy security of the state are presented based on the energetic potentialities considering the autochthone renewable energy sources and the current energy regulatory framework of Mexico.
