Senior Consultant

Mexico

She holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the Universidad Iberoamericana and a Master's degree in Environmental Management from Duke University in the U.S. With more than 15 consulting projects supporting clients in the development of strategies, business models and tools for climate change mitigation, decarbonization and energy transition. She conducts economic and environmental feasibility analyses of investments in electric mobility alternatives for exclusive bus lanes for public transport in Mexico. She is a consultant for the elaboration of low-emission development strategies and tools for the small and medium enterprise sector in Mexico, as well as in municipalities in the southeast of Mexico for the identification and design of decarbonization projects to improve the sustainability of transport, waste management and water services. It also consults on the design of a National Appropriate Mitigation Action proposal in Paraguay for strategic joint investments in energy efficiency by utilities and end-users; in the El Salvador market, which can catalyze investments in sustainable, efficient and low-carbon water supply through technical and financial solutions; and in an electricity utility in Mexico on the design and development of a business model for diversification towards renewable distributed generation with a social vision

Speaker

Gilberto Sánchez, ANES

PV Standardization Secretary

Mexico

Regulatory advisor in the electricity sector in Mexico with extensive experience in distributed generation. In 2016, he participated in the working groups for the approval of the general administrative provisions for the interconnection of power plants smaller than 0.5 MWp of the Special Energy Transition Programme (PETE) of SENER. He has contributed to various workshops and discussion panels related to regulation, such as those that analyzed the Electricity Industry Law in 2021 and CALIDENA, the programme to assess and improve the value chain in the photovoltaic sector led by the German National Metrology Institute (PTB), among others. It has collaborated with different manufacturers to comply with the technical requirements requested in RES/142/2017. He also has several certifications, including that of strategic and commercial partner in Mexico for the SOLAREDGE brand. His company has installed more than 6 GWp in distributed generation. He runs the online workshop portal Hablando de Energía (https://aula.hablandodeenergia.com) which promotes knowledge of the Electricity Industry Law and its regulation. He is part of the XXII Board of Directors (2022-2024) in the National Solar Energy Association, currently as head of the Secretariat for Photovoltaic Regulation.
