Two US technology firms, Invisible Urban Charging (IUC) and ATX Smart Mobility, have signed a $500 million investment agreement to build electric vehicle charging infrastructure in central Mexico and the Bajío region. The project addresses Mexico's critical shortage of charging stations, with the country currently having 280 cars per charger compared to an ideal ratio of 40 to one. The initial rollout will include 140 electric buses and 38 dual-port DC fast chargers in Querétaro, Puebla and Mexico City Metropolitan Area. IUC will provide funding and hardware for charger installations, whilst ATX will deploy AI-driven technology to optimise routes and energy use in public transport systems. Financial backing comes from DLL Group, Redaptive and EIG. IUC plans to deploy an additional $3 billion in Mexico over the next 18 to 36 months.

Redaptive, an Energy as a Service provider, has closed approximately $216 million in financing through the energy services sector's first securitisation of performance contracts. The transaction packages predictable cash flows from energy efficiency and decarbonisation contracts into assets for institutional investors. Redaptive installs energy efficiency, renewable energy and battery storage upgrades at no upfront cost to corporate clients, who pay over time based on verified savings. Securitising these payments enables access to deeper capital markets at lower costs, allowing faster deployment of projects. The development signals EaaS models are maturing into scalable investment categories. For corporate sustainability leaders, it reduces friction with finance teams traditionally hesitant to commit capital to infrastructure improvements, whilst aligning vendor incentives with project performance and transferring operational risk from buyers.
