The unfinished promise of solar infrastructure
This article examines the suspension of the Yucatán Solar PV park, a 70 MW utility-scale project halted through a grassroots legal injunction. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Yucatán, the study situates the project within Mexico's hydrocarbon legacies, uneven geographies of electricity provision, and histories of infrastructural neglect. Conceptually, the paper approaches infrastructure as a spatiotemporal and affective entanglement, emphasi…
Solar power, land control, and Indigenous resistance in Yucatán, Mexico
This article examines the suspension of the Yucatán Solar PV park, a project awarded through Mexico’s first long-term power auction, situating it within the broader context of the country’s energy reform and its implications for Indigenous territories. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and informed by political ecology and critical agrarian studies, the study analyzes how legal instruments, spatial tools, and discursive practices are deployed to …
Whose energy sovereignty? Competing imaginaries of Mexico's energy future
Mexico started down a path toward renewable energy in 2013 when the central government set ambitious targets for clean energy and carbon emissions through long-term electricity auctions and clean energy licenses. In 2018, these efforts came to a drastic halt when President López Obrador was elected. Since then, efforts to transition to renewable have been stalled, and even reversed to some extent. At this moment of fundamental political, societal…
