MEXICO CITY—Private renewable energy firms in Mexico should pay for part of the baseload power underpinning the flow of electricity on the grid, the head of the state power company said on Friday, as a dispute on the future of the local industry roils the market.

Manuel Bartlett, director of the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), told Reuters he favors more clean energy and wants to reduce Mexico’s use of fuel oil as a major source of power generation.
