Interpretation
Energy readiness scoring weighs grid reliability, transition strategy, and adaptation. Mexico City's transition reflects both city and federal direction. Across the indexed cities the energy average is 71/100, so Mexico City is close to the median for this dimension. Data year 2025; last updated 2026-05-16. Drawn from 3 institutional references.
