E4 Country Profile: Energy Efficiency in Mexico
Overview Mexico joined the IEA in 2018 as the first member from Latin America. Mexico is strongly committed to energy efficiency as part of its wider energy reforms. Its policy coverage in multiple energy end-use sectors has increased substantially since 2010 and in 2013, Mexico became the first country in Latin America to introduce a fuel economy standard.Mexico still has several challenges in meeting its climate objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals such as ensuring access to clean cooking and, in remote areas, universal access to energy. Energy efficiency, through its multiple benefits, remains an important enabler of…

Fuel economy in Indonesia
Market profile and analysis of fuel consumption trends Just over 9 million light-duty vehicles (LDVs) were sold in Indonesia in 2019, with an average fuel consumption of 8.1 litres of gasoline equivalent per 100 kilometres (Lge/100 km). Despite having one of the lightest weighing LDV fleets in 2019, average fuel consumption in Indonesia is 13% above the global average. The relatively low average weight of new LDVs in Indonesia (1 276 kg in 2019) stems from a sales share for SUVs/pick-ups that is 21% below the global average. Nevertheless, sales shares of SUVs/pick-ups…

E4 Country Profile: Energy Efficiency Indonesia
Overview Indonesia remains the largest energy producer and consumer in Southeast Asia, making up over 36% of the region’s energy demand. While Indonesia has made significant progress in access to electricity and clean cooking since the turn of the century, by 2018, about 1.7% of the population, nearly all in still do not have access to electricity, and 32% of the population lack access to clean cooking technology. With electricity demand potentially doubling by 2040, and a rapid urban expansion, the role of energy efficiency and urban planning in cities remains critical. Improvements in energy efficiency Energy efficiency…

Does security of supply drive key biofuel markets in Asia?
Renewables 2019 Trends to watch number 1 Improving security of supply is a fundamental reason for the introduction of biofuel policy support in China, India and Indonesia, which in turn has raised production prospects. Combined, these countries account for 40% (15 billion litres) of biofuel production growth in the main case forecast (2019‑24).Crude oil import dependency is set to increase in all three countries over the forecast period, meaning that measures to reinforce security of supply are of paramount importance. China already overtook the United States as the largest crude oil importer in 2017, India’s oil demand is set…

Scaling Up Renewables in the Java-Bali Power System: A Case Study
Introduction One of the world’s largest floating solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants, Cirata, is under construction in Indonesia. It is an innovative design with floating PV arrays to provide power in association with an existing hydropower plant in West Java. The 145 MW floating PV installation on the Cirata Reservoir is expected to be completed by fourth-quarter 2022. Indonesia plans to develop a further 60 floating PV installations to contribute to its target of 23% of power generation from renewables by 2025. Integrating rising levels of variable renewables into its power system is important for Indonesia. In that regard…

Fuel economy in Mexico
Market profile and analysis of fuel consumption trends In 2019, light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales were just over 1.3 million in Mexico, down from 1.6 million in 2016. Average LDV fuel consumption fell from 9.1 litres gasoline equivalent per 100 kilometres (Lge/100 km) in 2005 to 7.6 Lge/100 km in 2019, 6% above the global average. Fuel economy improvements over this time period represent a 1.3% average annual decrease in fuel consumption. Reductions in fuel consumption occurred across all vehicle segments from 2005 to 2017, though there was a slight increase in fuel…

Partner Country Series - Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform in Mexico and Indonesia
…country and then focus on transport fuels in Indonesia and electricity in Mexico. The study sets out a series of policy recommendations for both countries, and concludes that governments should not limit fuel subsidy reforms to technical measures. Rather they should engage the public at every step of the way, undertake detailed consultations and public opinion surveys, and set up a process that develops public participation and acceptance for the policies. These findings should be of interest to policy makers considering or implementing reforms to fossil fuel subsidies as well as readers following developments in global and regional energy markets.

Energy Policies Beyond IEA Countries: Mexico 2017
…to remain a priority. The transition to open energy markets should continue in a transparent manner, and with regulatory certainty. The new roles and responsibilities for the public and private entities, in particular for energy supply emergencies and energy data collection, should be defined well. It is also critical to ensure sufficient resources for the several new or strengthened regulatory authorities. For the long term, as Mexico’s population, cities and economy are projected to grow strongly, a cross-sectoral approach is required to limit the increase in energy demand and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. This review analyses the…

Mexico Energy Outlook 2016
…scene of tomorrow? This analysis provides a comprehensive assessment of Mexico’s energy demand and supply outlook to 2040. The report maps out the implications of the Reforma Energética across the energy economy; explores the ambition of a reformed power market to meet rising demand, while tapping Mexico’s abundant renewable resources and reducing the costs of power supply; assesses how and when the new upstream bid rounds can turn around today’s declines in oil and gas output; and identifies the challenges that remain, while also quantifying the value of Mexico’s energy transformation in a "No Reform Case".
