Baseline Assessment, Benchmarking, and Proposal of Energy Efficiency Measures for Mexico’s 2026 Energy Transition and Sustainable Use of Energy Plan (PLATEASE)

Title : Baseline Assessment, Benchmarking, and Proposal of Energy Efficiency Measures for Mexico’s 2026 Energy Transition and Sustainable Use of Energy Plan (PLATEASE)
Reference : 100014302
Process : RFP
Description : GGGI Mexico invites eligible firms/entities to submit their proposals for the assignment: “Baseline Assessment, Benchmarking, and Proposal of Energy Efficiency Measures for Mexico’s 2026 Energy Transition and Sustainable Use of Energy Plan (PLATEASE)”

PROJECT BACKGROUND:

The Mexican Ministry of Energy (SENER), through the Undersecretariat of Planning and Energy Transition (SPTE), has requested the technical assistance of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) to carry out the preparatory and development work for energy efficiency elements to be included in the first update cycle of the Energy Transition and Sustainable Use of Energy Plan (PLATEASE) to be published in May 2026. This national planning document will set goals, activities, projects and programs with a 15-year horizon. As part of this process, it is necessary to:
• Review and update of sectoral baselines and trend scenarios up to 2060.
• Identify the best international practices and cost-effective energy efficiency measures across the following key sectors and subsectors: buildings (residential, commercial and services, and public sector); agriculture (including agribusiness and livestock), transport and industry.
• Propose a portfolio of energy efficiency measures tailored to the selected sectors and subsectors in Mexico, with an assessment of cost-effectiveness and associated GHG mitigation potential.
• Prepare an energy efficiency measures catalogue to standardize the energy savings and associated costs of each measure. The catalogue will then serve as a reference when designing public energy efficiency projects and programs.
• Strengthening capacities of the SPTE areas, on the best available practices for modelling and the creation of baseline scenarios, based on the LEAP and PSR models.

Scope of Work

All activities shall be carried out in close collaboration with, and under the supervision of SPTE to ensure alignment with national priorities, methodologies, and ongoing analytical work.
The Consultant shall undertake the following:
• Baseline analysis: In close collaboration with SPTE review existing sectoral baseline and make recommendations to improve scenarios and projections using the LEAP model as well as a detailed review of policy and regulatory framework in Mexico.
• Benchmarking: Identify and document the best international practices and case studies of energy efficiency measures in the energy final consumption sectors and their corresponding sub-sectors. Also, previous workshops organized by SENER, GGGI and others will be held on the priority topics covered by this consultancy; the consultant must incorporate the inputs obtained from these workshops into their analysis.
• Prioritize measures: Propose a set of short-, medium-, and long-term energy efficiency measures, including estimated energy savings, estimated investment costs, operational savings, GHG mitigation, and potential co-benefits.
• Cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-benefit analysis: Estimate the marginal abatement cost (USD/GJ and USD/MtCO2e) for the proposed measures.
• Stakeholder validation: Participate in meetings and workshops to discuss and validate the proposed measures with SPTE.
• Catalogue of EE measures: Prepare a detailed catalogue of EE measures and technologies to inform project proposals, technology retrofits, and their more efficient alternatives, costs, energy savings and GHG reductions. Each measure in this catalogue should include:
o Baseline technology characteristics (average efficiency, typical lifetime).
o Proposed an efficient alternative, its efficiency and its lifetime.
o Unit and total costs (CAPEX and indicative OPEX).
o Estimated energy savings (MWh/year or GJ/year) and cost of energy savings (USD/MWh or USD/GJ).
o Associated GHG emission mitigation (tCO2e/year).
o Payback period or marginal abatement cost (USD/MWh or GJ), and cost-benefit analysis.
This catalogue is intended to support the design of public energy efficiency programs and projects.
Capacity building program: Develop and implement a capacity building program (approximately 20 people, final number to be defined by the SPTE) for the relevant areas of the Undersecretariat for Planning and Energy Transition on the best available modelling practices, prioritizing the LEAP and PSR models, and any other requested by the Ministry, which must include guides, manuals, tutorials and all the necessary materials to replicate the sessions in the future

IMPORTANT TIMELINES:
This project is expected to be completed by April 30, 2026, following the contract signing.
The tender submission deadline is 11 December 2025, 16:00 pm KST (Korean Standard Time).
If any bidder has any request for clarification on the TOR or any part of the tender documents, GGGI will be happy to clarify if they are received on or before 7 days before the deadline (namely: if the tender submission deadline is 16:00 11 December KST, then the due date for submission of request for clarification is 16:00 4 December KST).
Interested parties will be required to register their details on the GGGI e-Green Procurement Portal (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/gggi).

HOW TO OBTAIN THE DOCUMENTS:
Documents can be accessed via the e-Green Procurement Portal by selecting ‘View Details’ on the relevant notice and then clicking the ‘Tender Application’ button. If you are a new supplier, you will be required to register your details. If you have an existing account, you will need to login to the portal. Please refer to the guidance documents under the `Supplier Guidance` area of the portal for further information.

ONLINE TENDER MANAGEMENT:
Once in the Tender Management Area for the tender, there are five possible tabs: ‘Tender’, `Tender Documents`, ‘Correspondence’, ‘Clarifications’ and ‘History’. Select the 2nd tab (`Tender Documents`) where you will find useful information regarding the RFP. Scroll down to the heading ‘Tender Documents Received’ where you will be able to view / download the documents.

OPTING IN & OPTING OUT:
Please note that you may be required to ‘Opt In’ before you can start populating your response. The ‘Opt Out’ functionality will also be available throughout the duration of the tender process. Opting out will give you the option of declaring you no longer want to receive any further communication in relation to this tender along with the opportunity of providing comments and feedback for this decision. You can choose to ‘Opt In’ at any time during the tender process if you initially decided to ‘Opt Out’.

SUBMITTING YOUR RESPONSE VIA THE PORTAL:
Please note that you may be required to ‘Opt In’ to be able to submit a response through the portal. Tenderers will be required to upload any mandatory Placeholders (i.e. specified documents) within the `Tender Documents` tab. The ability to attach additional documents may also be available. Your proposal will not be submitted until you click `Submit Return`, located towards the bottom of the screen. On clicking `Submit Return`, you will receive a receipt confirming that your proposal has been submitted to GGGI.
Please read Instructions on How to submit the Proposal.
