- The solution will prevent 461 tonnes of CO₂ per year and is part of a strategy to strengthen energy competitiveness in Mexico’s packaging industry.
- The project operates under a zero capital investment model for SPG, with Energía Real as its Energy as a Service (EaaS) provider.
- The solution integrates Huawei photovoltaic generation technology (636 kWp) and smart battery storage (1,720 kWh)
Mexico City, April 29 2026. Specialized Packaging Group (SPG), formerly IVEX, has implemented a renewable energy system at its Chihuahua plant combining solar generation and battery storage that will prevent the emission of 461 tonnes of CO₂ per year and reduce the company’s electricity costs by more than 25% with no capital investment required.
The project operates under an Energy as a Service (EaaS) model, in which the company pays only for the energy consumed, eliminating the need for upfront infrastructure investment. This solution was developed in partnership with Energía Real and Huawei Digital Power, strategic allies in the implementation of comprehensive energy technologies.
The system integrates a large-scale photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 636 kWp, along with a battery energy storage system (BESS) of 1,720 kWh, enabling optimized energy consumption, improved operational efficiency, and reduced exposure to electricity cost volatility.
In an environment where the manufacturing industry faces growing pressure from rising energy costs and the need to advance decarbonization goals, this type of solution is becoming a viable alternative for strengthening corporate competitiveness and sustainability.
During the inauguration of the system, Raul Vargas, vice president of operations of SPG noted that “this project makes our operations more efficient and sustainable and is aligned with the demands of our customers and the current industrial landscape.”
Over a 15-year period, the implementation is estimated to generate cumulative savings of over 20 million pesos, while also contributing to a cleaner and more resilient operation.
This initiative builds on previous installations at SPG’s Tijuana and Guadalajara plants, where solar systems were implemented that generate more than 3000 MWh annually. Together, these plants will reduce more than 1,500 tonnes of CO₂ per year, positioning the company as a benchmark in the adoption of clean energy within Mexico’s industrial packaging sector.
“Today we are not only inaugurating an energy system, but a different way of operating: more efficient, cleaner, and aligned with the future of industry,” said Santiago Villagómez, CEO of Energía Real.
Gonzalo Gómez, Business Development Manager of Huawei Digital Power added that “photovoltaic generation and smart storage solutions enable companies to optimize their energy consumption and advance their sustainability objectives without compromising their operations.”
With this implementation, Huawei reinforces its long-term commitment to the development of clean energy infrastructure in Mexico, where its solutions are already operating across various manufacturing plants in the northern part of the country.
Energía Real, meanwhile, consolidates its role as an enabler of the energy transition in the industrial sector, through innovative models such as Energy as a Service, which allow companies to adopt advanced solutions without committing capital or adding operational complexity.
For SPG, this project is a key step in the evolution of its operations toward a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable model, strengthening its competitiveness in Mexico’s packaging industry.
