The government's energy commission, CENACE, said that seven companies won 11 contracts to deliver 5.4TWh of wind and solar power a year, from 2018 onwards. All told, about 1.7GW of capacity will be built as a result of the auction. 

The auction saw 85% of federal monopoly power company CFE’s requirements being met, leading the government to announce another auction, kicking off in mid-April.
