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
…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 energy policy challenges facing Mexico and provides recommendations for further policy improvements.

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".

Boosting Efficiency in Latin America
Delivering affordability, security and jobs to advance people-centred energy transitions Countries around the world are facing an energy security and affordability crisis affecting households, businesses and public budgets. In Latin America, household expenditure on energy services is second only to food. On average, the share of household budget for energy ranges between 7% and 9% of income – and up to more than 24% for the poorest households. As governments urgently implement measures to protect citizens and secure their economies, it is important to consider short- and long- term solutions to ease existing pain and reduce risks over time. While…

Implementing Clean Energy Transitions
…impact of the road transport sector on energy demand, CO2 emissions and air pollution in several selected major emerging economies over the coming decades under several IEA modelling scenarios. Most notably the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS) aims to show to what extent announced ambitions and targets, including the most recent ones, are on the path to deliver emissions reductions required to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.Bringing about a road transport decarbonisation pathway in line with the APS in the selected major emerging economies - Brazil, People’s Republic of China, India, Indonesia, Mexico and South Africa - will require significant…

Mexico Case Study
Cost of Capital Observatory Case Study The Cost of Capital Observatory is an initiative from the IEA, the World Economic Forum, ETH Zurich and Imperial College London. The aim of the Observatory is to increase transparency in the energy sector and inspire investor confidence, especially in emerging and developing countries where data on financing costs is scarcer.Case Studies include lessons learnt of how policymakers, together with the private sector, development finance institutions and other entities managed to mitigate risks and mobilise capital for clean energy sectors across the emerging and developing world.

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…
