Mexico’s Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) has recently introduced a power assurance plan to provide stable and reliable electricity to industrial parks, supporting manufacturing and foreign investment. The plan addresses the growing electricity demands of Mexico’s industrial parks, promising infrastructure upgrades and dedicated lines to keep outage rates below 1%, along with 24/7 emergency response services. CFE states that this will reduce operational risks for businesses and facilitate foreign investment amid nearshoring trends.
The plan covers major industrial zones nationwide, such as Guanajuato and Nuevo León State, with an estimated investment of 5 billion pesos (approximately $250 million) for substation expansions and smart grid technology. Benefiting sectors include automotive, electronics, and logistics, with foreign firms eligible for subsidies to connect to CFE’s dedicated network. CFE Chairman Manuel Bartlett emphasized: “Reliable power is the cornerstone of Mexico’s industrial competitiveness; this plan will help parks achieve a 15% annual capacity growth target.”
This initiative responds to global supply chain reconfiguration, attracting investments from Chinese, U.S., and European firms into Mexican industrial parks. In the first half of 2025, Mexico’s industrial parks drew over $10 billion in foreign direct investment, with power stability as a key factor. Post-implementation, the plan is expected to create 50,000 jobs and enhance park export competitiveness, raising Mexico’s manufacturing share of GDP to 20%.
