Nuevo León’s electricity network is becoming part of the site-selection conversation: Sergio Reséndez, director general of Colliers México, warned that limited transmission and distribution capacity could reduce foreign investment in the state, ABC Noticias reported on September 16.
The constraint is not only generation. Reséndez said the harder problem is moving and transforming power for industrial parks, where private developers are already investing in on-site infrastructure but face high costs. ABC Noticias reported that Apodaca, Escobedo and Ciénega de Flores remain among the metro area’s most active industrial zones.
The 2027 works Nuevo León still cannot see
El Horizonte reported that federal lawmaker Víctor Pérez Díaz asked the federal government and CFE to identify the substation needs, ongoing investments and works planned for Nuevo León in 2027. The state-specific allocation was not identified in the budget document he cited.
