In this sense, is it possible to achieve energy self-sufficiency with sustainable alternatives? In particular, if energy security is breached, or if the costs of the electricity bill are undermining the optimal functioning of enterprises and institutions, are there any technologically affordable options to optimize the organizational operation microenterprise level? The purpose of this work lies in referring organizational efforts that are enabling technological innovations in the modus operandi, an urban and regional scale in Mexico.

Keywords : energy security; energy independence; enewable energy self-supply projects; energy cogeneration.
