Manifesto Energy Transition PART 3

BASIC ELECTRICAL SERVICES

Servicios básicos eléctricos

Energy poverty is a multidimensional concept, according to the definition of México Evalúa, which indicates the lack of minimum energy services for development in homes. These services include water heating, food cooking, refrigeration, lighting, thermal comfort and entertainment. This condition is closely linked to the enjoyment of human rights, especially affecting marginalized sectors of the city, such as Xochimilco, Milpa Alta and Tláhuac, where there are high levels of illegal settlements. The lack of basic services affects all household members, with women, children and the elderly being the most vulnerable. It is estimated that around 1.3 million people, mainly women and children, die prematurely each year due to diseases related to household air pollution caused by the use of wood stoves.

La pobreza energética es un concepto multidimensional, según la definición de México Evalúa, que señala la falta de servicios energéticos mínimos para el desarrollo en los hogares. Estos servicios incluyen el calentamiento de agua, cocción de alimentos, refrigeración, iluminación, confort térmico y entretenimiento. Esta condición está estrechamente vinculada al disfrute de los derechos humanos, afectando especialmente a sectores marginados de la ciudad, como Xochimilco, Milpa Alta y Tláhuac, donde hay altos niveles de asentamientos ilegales. La falta de servicios básicos afecta a todos los miembros del hogar, siendo mujeres, niños y ancianos los más vulnerables. Se estima que alrededor de 1.3 millones de personas, principalmente mujeres y niños, mueren prematuramente cada año debido a enfermedades relacionadas con la contaminación del aire en el hogar causada por el uso de estufas de leña.

INTERNET ACCESS

Acceso a internet

According to the National Survey on Availability and Use of Information Technologies in Homes 2021 by Inegi, Mexico City leads with 88.3% of the population using the Internet, but there is still a gap of 12%. Sheinbaum’s proposal seeks to guarantee Internet access as a right, prioritizing the gradual implementation of its own infrastructure to offer free public service. It will especially focus on areas with low coverage, such as towns, neighborhoods and lagging communities, as well as educational and health institutions, government offices, community centers, parks, public squares and public transportation. The initiative ensures the allocation of resources in the annual budget to guarantee Internet access in public spaces..

Según la Encuesta Nacional sobre Disponibilidad y Uso de Tecnologías de la Información en los Hogares 2021 del Inegi, la Ciudad de México lidera con un 88.3% de la población utilizando Internet, pero aún existe una brecha del 12%. La propuesta de Sheinbaum busca garantizar el acceso a Internet como un derecho, priorizando la implementación gradual de infraestructura propia para ofrecer el servicio público gratuito. Se enfocará especialmente en áreas con baja cobertura, como pueblos, barrios y comunidades rezagadas, así como en instituciones educativas, de salud, oficinas gubernamentales, centros comunitarios, parques, plazas públicas y transporte público. La iniciativa asegura la asignación de recursos en el presupuesto anual para garantizar el acceso a Internet en espacios públicos..

Mexico city goals for energy transition

Although there are many strategies in Mexico City that contribute to the energy transition goals, not all of them are applicable in the Vallejo industrial zone, not even in Azcapotzalco itself.

Considering that the weather conditions in Mexico City and strategies such as Ciudad Solar have potential in Vallejo.

Maintain the vehicle fleet in circulation in the best possible environmental condition, encouraging preventive maintenance of those units that are presented for verification, and requiring corrective maintenance of vehicles that present pollution levels higher than permitted.

ENERGY CONCLUSION

On one hand, in Mexico City, there is sufficient electrical infrastructure observed, but every year the city grows, and along with it, the number of people affected by its lack increases. Being dependent solely on the CFE (Federal Electricity Commission), it is likely not to be sufficient in the near future. Therefore, it will be urgently needed for energy to be produced as close as possible.

For this reason, there are already a series of strategies in place to promote the use of renewable energies and improve urban mobility. However, the implementation of these strategies, as well as the companies that implement them, are concentrated in the 4 delegations with the highest economic level and quality of life, while the others are forced to have a consumption based on fossil fuels and a dependence on motorized vehicles to move within the city.

Por un lado, en la Ciudad de México, se observa una infraestructura eléctrica suficiente, pero cada año la ciudad crece, y con ella la cantidad de gente que se ve afectada por la falta de esta, y siendo dependientes de solo la CFE, es probable que no sea suficiente en un futuro cercano. Así que será de urgente necesidad que la energía se produzca lo más cerca posible.

Por esto ya hay una serie de estrategias en marcha para promover el uso de energías renovables y mejorar la movilidad urbana. Sin embargo, la implementación de estas estrategias, así como las empresas que las implementan, se encuentran agrupadas en las 4 delegaciones con mayor nivel económico y calidad de vida, mientras las otras se ven obligadas a tener un consumo a base de energías fósiles y una dependencia a los vehículos motorizados para poder moverse dentro de la ciudad.

On the other hand, in Vallejo, the situation is different. Although the electrical infrastructure in housing is also adequate, there is a red flag in access to electricity and the internet in the northern part of the area. The Vallejo I strategy still does not guarantee its realization, and no other strategy is being implemented in the area. This creates a marked division between the city and Vallejo, coupled with the trend of improving quality of life, although it passes nearby, tends to grow without touching the area.a series of strategies in place to promote the use of renewable energies and improve urban mobility. However, the implementation of these strategies, as well as the companies that implement them, are concentrated in the 4 delegations with the highest economic level and quality of life, while the others are forced to have a consumption based on fossil fuels and a dependence on motorized vehicles to move within the city.

Por otro lado, en Vallejo, la situación es diferente. Aunque la infraestructura eléctrica en la vivienda también es adecuada, se evidencia una foco rojo en el acceso a la electricidad y al internet en el norte de la zona. La estrategia Vallejo I aún no garantiza su realización, y ninguna otra estrategia está siendo implementada en el predio. Esto crea una división marcada entre la ciudad y Vallejo, aunado a que la tendencia de ampliación de calidad de vida, aunque pasa cerca, tiende a crecer sin tocar el predio.

ENERGY OPORTUNITIES

Based on the conclusions drawn, pertinent opportunities affecting the electrical infrastructure are identified in Vallejo. These include:

1. Lack of effective implementation of urban development and improvement strategies

2. Higher CO2 pollution caused by industrial activity, especially by medium-sized industry.

3. Lack of adequate infrastructure to ensure the quality of life of residents, including transportation and public spaces.

4. Poverty in access to basic services such as electricity and internet, especially in the northern area of the property.

Recognizing the broader context and understanding that issues are interconnected within a system impacting multiple sectors simultaneously, it is evident that the identified challenges in Vallejo share strong ties with those encountered by other teams, notably in environmental and urban infrastructure opportunities.

With this understanding, it becomes apparent that the array of issues in Vallejo affects all social sectors, and by addressing them appropriately, the existing disparities in the territory can be mitigated.

Basándonos en las conclusiones obtenidas, se identifican oportunidades pertinentes que afectan a la infraestructura eléctrica en Vallejo. Estas incluyen:

1. Falta de implementación efectiva de estrategias de desarrollo y mejoramiento urbano.

2. Mayor contaminación de CO2 causada por la actividad industrial, especialmente por parte de la industria mediana.

3. Carencia de infraestructura adecuada para garantizar la calidad de vida de los residentes, incluyendo transporte y espacios públicos.

4. Pobreza en el acceso a servicios básicos como electricidad e internet, especialmente en el norte del predio.

Reconociendo el contexto más amplio y comprendiendo que los problemas están interconectados dentro de un sistema que afecta a múltiples sectores simultáneamente, resulta evidente que los desafíos identificados en Vallejo comparten fuertes vínculos con los encontrados por otros equipos, especialmente en oportunidades relacionadas con el medio ambiente y la infraestructura urbana.

Con esta comprensión, se hace evidente que la variedad de problemas en Vallejo afecta a todos los sectores sociales, y al abordarlos adecuadamente, se pueden mitigar las disparidades existentes en el territorio.

3. COLLECTIVE VISION

VALLEJO, DECARBONISED

Vallejo,

descarbonizado

If energy transition is the path towards decarbonisation...

The disproportionate impact of climate change in the global south can also be regarded as a crisis of energetic injustice. Countries like Mexico present slower decarbonization progress due to political constraints, low economic flexibility, insufficient energetic infrastructure, and reduced access to innovation. Cities consume 75% of global energy generation. Therefore, how can they effectively follow the path towards transition?

When properly addressed, this urgent endeavor can meaningfully impact social, political, economical, environmental, urban and energetic sectors in cities. Official instruments such as the Vallejo-I program attempt to advance sustainability, seeking the participation of those in power. Nevertheless, these top-down models are rarely effective at integrating and empowering civil society.

A decarbonised Vallejo embraces horizontal interrelations between its authorities, industry, businesses, workers, residents and all other impacted actors. This ideal must be reflected through collective, efficient, kind and pleasing spaces. Our vision spans eight dimensions and strives towards an urban landscape that incentivises energetic transition, guiding the present towards a desirable future.

where do we stand? what are we doing? where should we go? how can we get there? what is our vision for Vallejo’s future?

El impacto desproporcionado del cambio climático en el sur global también puede reconocerse como una crisis de injusticia energética. Países como México muestran un progreso de descarbonización más lento debido a restricciones políticas, baja flexibilidad económica, infraestructura energética insuficiente, y acceso reducido a innovación. Las ciudades consumen 75% de la generación energética mundial, entonces ¿cómo pueden ser eficientes en su camino hacia la transición?

Si actuamos sobre este urgente esfuerzo, se puede mejorar significativamente los sectores energético social, político, económico, ambiental, y urbano en las ciudades. Instrumentos oficiales como el programa Vallejo-I procuran promover la descarbonización, buscando la participación de autoridades, industrias y negocios. Sin embargo, estos modelos verticales difícilmente son efectivos en integrar y empoderar la sociedad civil.

Un Vallejo descarbonizado abraza interrelaciones horizontales entre sus autoridades, industrias, negocios, trabajadores, residentes y otros actores impactados. Este ideal debe ser reflejado a través de espacios colectivos, eficientes, generosos y placenteros. Nuestra visión abarca ocho dimensiones, cultivando un ambiente urbano que incentiva la transición energética, guiando el presente hacia un futuro deseable.

Power to the people

Within a vibrant community, inhabitants synergize towards collaborative and innovative endeavors, integrating distributed energy sources such as solar and wind. Strategic deployment of intelligent distribution networks enhances energy efficiency and balances supply with demand. Through diminishing dependence on centralized utilities and championing sustainable initiatives, these communities forge resilience and environmental guardianship. Such integration of community values into political decisions promises a path towards a brighter and more sustainable tomorrow.

Industry: Stop greediness

The “conscious industry” integrates sustainability, social responsibility and environmental care in production. Strategies include sustainability education, tax incentives for environmentally friendly practices, stricter environmental regulations, government support for clean technologies, collaborative partnerships between companies, and certifications for commitment to sustainability. These measures promote a conscious industry in Vallejo Industrial, which seeks not only economic benefit, but also positive social and environmental impact.

Make it a conversation

To facilitate the energy transition towards sustainable sources, policy actions include the establishment of ambitious renewable energy targets, incentives for energy efficiency and transport electrification, as well as carbon policies. Modernization of electrical infrastructure, public education, international collaboration and attention to social inclusion are key components. This comprehensive approach seeks to ensure widespread adoption of sustainable practices and mitigate the impacts of climate change, creating a cleaner and more resilient energy future.

Hey! down to earth

Energy management focused on saving and reusing energy, water and waste, supported by efficient technologies in electricity consumption and the use of natural resources. Also, an energy production system located on the property to avoid loss during transportation, thus saving on electricity bills. Good maintenance and care of the electrical network is important to avoid overloading it.

Unleash earth´s power

Promoting the use of renewable energies and cogeneration systems in those processes that require energy, to make them more efficient and environmentally friendly. Using clean energy sources such as solar, eolic and biomass would reduce CO2 emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, maintaining Vallejo’s industrial activity and offering an alternative to its processes. Regarding the mobility of the area, electrification, use of biofuels and the planning and organization of the area will contribute to a sustainable and respectful mobility..

Even ground for all

Que la energía de la zona Vallejo sea asequible, basta y digna. Para que sus trabajadores y habitantes cuenten con servicios básicos, eficientes y necesarios acorde a sus necesidades, luchando para evitar la pobreza energética y combatiendo con la actual marginación y vulnerabilidad social. Con energía accesible, se fomenta la educación, la salud y la innovación, creando un mundo más justo y sostenible para todos.

Change < Evolve

When a space is flexible and adaptable, it responds easily to different functions and use models, it is about being able to transform to satisfy individual or collective needs throughout its useful life. Resilience is a way of understanding life through perseverance and optimism, giving opportunities to species and spaces to flourish from adversity. By designing and deciding from a future and empathetic perspective, we are taking another step towards communities for all and shared, kind and regenerative places to live.

Every meter counts

A memory, a lost opportunity, places outside the urban system, residue of an expansion that once occurred. The occupation of large surfaces generates an urban continuum where the exception is free spaces, these being those that appear between urban plots, this disintegration has generated voids. These “non-places” could be recognized as an opportunity for restructuring and expansion, but also as a promise for a brighter future where they can rejoin urban dynamics and networks in order to provide hope and expectations to communities in need.
