This report by Ember analyzes Mexico's technical and economic potential to transition its electricity sector toward solar power and battery storage to reduce dependence on imported US gas. It argues that while Mexico possesses world-class solar resources capable of meeting the vast majority of its electricity demand, high local installation costs and regulatory barriers currently hinder this potential.

This case study describes how Tecnológico de Monterrey (Tec), a university in Monterrey, Mexico, responded to a 2010 tragedy by launching DistritoTec, a district-scale regeneration initiative. The project aimed to reverse decades of urban sprawl, insecurity, and population decline by implementing mixed-use planning, inclusive community governance, and low-carbon infrastructure, ultimately increasing the district's population and reducing uninhabited homes.
