power purchase agreements, environmental services, and LEED consulting
Our Energy Efficiency Assessments begin with our consultants analyzing your historical energy consumption and identifying trends or ways to optimize energy spending. We then speak with building/facility staff, and management about the strategy of the facility which allows us to make thorough recommendations on way to lower the energy footprint.
We also specialize in:
Clean Energy Certificates (CEL)
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
Buildings Automation Systems (BAS)
Vendor selection for energy efficiency projects
Environmental compliance and permitting
Businesses remain the top users of electricity in Mexico, and industry alone accounts for an estimated 58% of total consumption. Our consultants at Mexico Energy Partners use state of the art technology to help firms use energy more effectively. We perform a comprehensive review of the entire energy footprint of the facility. Assessments are done entirely by a team of highly-qualified consultants and industrial and electrical engineers.
Raising energy efficiency is another way to reduce pollution, and the cheapest way to improve sustainability. Political winds in Mexico also remain favorable for the power sector. AMLO is for strengthening the state-controlled CFE, and improving the performance of Mexico’s electrical grid is a priority.
As in the USA, the efficiency of Mexico’s electrical grid lags behind the rest of the infrastructure. According to the World Economic Forum, Mexico provides electricity to 100% of its people and ranks 7th in the world for road connectivity. However, Mexico’s electrical grid ranks 85th for efficiency. As a practical matter, that means Mexico loses more than seven times as much power during transmission as Singapore.
Our Perspectives
Best Practices for Energy Efficiency
The coronavirus crisis placed many businesses in the unusual position of being able to save significant amounts of money through improved energy efficiency during protracted shutdowns. There are specific best practices that firms can use to determine how much they can save, safely make the changes, and then reverse the process when business starts up again.
Opportunities for Energy Efficiency in Mexico
Specific programs were created to assist firms and households in making the transition to power-saving technology. The Eco-Crédito Empresaria is perhaps the most important for small and medium-sized businesses. This credit helps firms upgrade their equipment to more energy-efficient technology.
Energy Procurement in Mexico
Businesses and other organizations use 76% of the energy produced in Mexico, and they are increasingly interested in procuring renewable energy. Over 1,500 firms already use renewables, and capacity keeps rising. Mexico reached over 24,000 MW of sustainable energy capacity in 2019. As the number of market participants rises and the depth of the market increases, renewable power becomes more reliable and cost-effective.
