Energy Efficiency For Industrial Growth
Depending on a facility's age and current state, energy efficiency improvements can lead to cost savings ranging from 10% to 50%. This is not just a reduction in overhead, it's a direct boost to the profitability and competitive edge of the company.
Energy Efficiency in the Hospitality Industry
Hotels and resorts consume substantial energy in daily operations, including lighting, heating, cooling, and running electronic equipment. These establishments can significantly reduce their energy consumption by implementing energy-efficient practices and technologies, such as onsite solar, energy storage, high-efficiency HVAC, and energy management systems.
Corporate Power Purchase Agreements In Mexico
Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), pivotal for financing and developing renewable energy projects, enable businesses to purchase electricity directly from energy producers, bypassing traditional utility frameworks.
Bridging Industrial Water Challenges In Mexico
The backdrop of nearshoring amplifies Mexico's pre-existing water challenges, pushing both local and national stakeholders to drive innovative solutions, bolster policies, and harness technology to meet the surging demand.
Mexico's Geothermal Potential
As governments around the globe aim for a green transition, there has been a recent upsurge in investment in the geothermal energy sector, which we expect to encourage greater funding into Mexico’s geothermal potential.
The Top 5 Reasons For An Energy Audit
For large commercial entities, the demands of energy consumption have a significant impact not only on the bottom line but also on the broader ecological footprint. An energy audit, a systematic review of energy use and its organizational management is becoming indispensable.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rooftop Solar
Adopting rooftop solar can lead to substantial savings on electricity bills. Depending on various factors, such as the system's size and local electricity rates, one can expect cost reductions in the range of 20% to 40%.
Mexico’s Plans For Major Urban Solar Farms
The Central de Abasto wholesale market, in the east of Mexico City, is where hundreds of thousands of vendors purchase their food to take back and sell at local markets. Over 30,000 tons of produce are sold at the market every day, fulfilling around 80% of consumption needs in the city’s metropolitan area.
Lithium Mining In Mexico
Mexico’s so far undeveloped lithium industry has huge potential, with the country’s reserves estimated at 1.7 million tons. Several private companies want to start developing projects in Mexico as the demand for lithium for batteries is rising rapidly, as well as in support of a green transition.
Mexico’s Renewable Energy Goals For 2030
Mexico pledged to double its renewable energy capacity by 2030, with plans to develop another 30 GW of green energy. Mexico’s Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard stated at COP27 that the government plans to invest $48 billion in its renewable energy industry.
The Case For Rooftop Solar In Mexico
The advantages of adopting rooftop solar are significant. It offers the potential to significantly lower costs by roughly 20% to 40%. With no installation costs and no permits required, corporations can also expect to see a reduction in their greenhouse gas emissions.
Tesla's Gigafactory Plans For Mexico
At the beginning of March, Tesla announced plans to construct a new Gigafactory in Mexico, its first outside of the U.S., Germany, and China. The plant will be built in Monterrey, Nuevo León, around a three-hour drive from Texas, providing efficiencies for its supply chain.
A Positive Outlook For Renewables In Jalisco
We expect Jalisco to become a regional leader in green energy and environmental action, having already introduced schemes such as the Low Carbon State Program, which encourages reduced fossil fuel consumption and the development of renewable energy operations.
Green Hydrogen In Mexico
State-owned Pemex already produces hydrogen as a by-product of its fossil fuel output, using it mainly for refining and ammonia production processes. Air Liquide, Linde, and Cryo-Infra/Air Products also have hydrogen operations in Mexico. As the country develops its green energy market, it could rapidly expand its hydrogen production to meet the needs of a growing global market.
Guadalajara’s Climate Action Plan
We expect the implementation of Guadalajara’s Climate Action Plan to help the city to reduce pollution and improve the quality of life for its residents, while ultimately supporting the combat of climate change. If successful, we believe the strategy could be replicated in Mexico’s other urban areas, as well as elsewhere in Latin America.
The Adoption Of Zero-Carbon Fuels
With a burgeoning renewable energy industry and well-established shipping routes, Mexico could quickly become a major international hub for low-carbon freight and transport. This would not only boost the country’s long-term energy security but would ensure its position in the global energy market in the transition to green.
Distributed Generation In Mexico
We expect the development of distributed generation in Mexico to deliver multiple benefits, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, delivering electricity to rural communities, and decreasing the burden on the national grid system.
Energy Outlook For Baja California
Baja California’s energy structure is different from the rest of Mexico, as it runs off an independent electric power grid, separate from the country’s main grid system. Despite significant solar and wind potential, the state continues to rely heavily on the importation of natural gas from the U.S.
Questions About Qualified Supply
Due to the regulatory environment with respect to new utility-scale projects in Mexico, the large suppliers have been reluctant to put forth aggressive bids at our RFP auctions like in the past. However, we are still seeing discounts of 10% to 50% for new Qualified Users in Mexico.
The Advantages Of Nearshoring In Mexico
By bringing manufacturing closer to home through nearshoring in Mexico, North American companies can optimize their operations, mitigate supply chain risks, and better respond to market dynamics. Read more about how renewable energy procurement for nearshoring in Mexico.
