Formula E: A Renewable Energy Event in Mexico City

In the month of March, Mexico City experienced a fast-paced month. After the protests against the "Gasolinazo" at the end of the month, the Mexican people stopped to observe a luminous billboard featuring a racecar. The Formula E swiftly passed through the land of tequila, and the highlight of the event took place on Saturday, April 1st, at the Hermanos Rodriguez racetrack.

Over 40,000 locals enjoyed the electrifying Formula E event in Mexico City. But beyond the gasless race cars, the visit of Paris Hilton, or the triumph of Brazilian driver Lucas Di Grassi, the international race aims to raise awareness and, for this reason, it focuses on new energy technologies.

Perhaps not yet recognized worldwide like Formula 1, Formula E nevertheless proves to be an energetic event with great potential. It comes as no surprise that Ferrari and BMW have begun to take notice of this electrifying competition.

On the day of the event, Saturday, April 1st, the Hermanos Rodriguez racetrack in Mexico City provided a remarkable experience with Formula E. Moreover, the entire sports complex was charged with different types of energy, demonstrating the advancement of renewable technology for the benefit of humankind.

This was evident in the case of Enel Green Power Mexico. The renewable energy operator in Mexico, with a presence in 30 countries and 4 continents, was responsible for supplying the Hermanos Rodriguez racetrack in Mexico City with energy during the Formula E event.

Their presence was highlighted through a completely digitalized microgrid designed for the championship. With 40 smart meters, which allow for the measurement of electrical parameters in order to improve monitoring and system management.

This means that all the teams connected to the microgrid, those in the Fan Zone and the four electric vehicle charging stations, were powered by healthy, sustainable, and storable energy.

Another innovation was Enel's electric vehicle. This car featured vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which allows electric vehicles to store energy and then redistribute any excess energy back to the power grid, if necessary.

What we do hope is not necessary is becoming more dependent on gasoline. Today, Mexico is suffering from the "Gasolinazo." It's possible that in the future, other parts of the world may also face this problem, without realizing that electric energy, the present, could be part of the solution.
