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
Capacity Prices and the Wholesale Electricity Market
The Status of Energy Auctions in Mexico
The status of energy auctions in Mexico has become increasingly complicated, but private auctions still promise to help Mexico transition to clean energy. The immediate impact of private auctions will mostly be on existing projects, but they could lead to additional renewable energy development in the future. Some generators under construction were unable to contract all their energy or received overly low prices at previous auctions.
The Natural Gas Industry in Mexico
New pipelines have enormous potential to support increased natural gas production in Mexico and also reduce the costs of imports. Although there is already an impressive pipeline infrastructure for transporting natural gas from the U.S. into Mexico, it does not reach the entire country. Most of the less expensive piped gas goes only to the northern states of Mexico, in part to provide power for factories.
An Overview of Virtual Power Purchase Agreements
For many years, the market for clean energy was limited by unstable prices. Energy prices are generally difficult to predict, but clean energy adds the uncertainty of new technologies and the weather.
