The lack of energy could be a dam for investments in industrial buildings, which is why it is necessary to turn to renewable energies to attract these investments from companies that are in line with sustainability, said Rene Morlet, director of industrial projects at Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL).

In a talk with the media, Morlet commented that not only Tijuana presents problems to supply energy to industrial buildings, but the city of Querétaro represents the same problem, which is why they call on the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), to install more substations as happened in Ciudad Juárez.

“The lack of energy, but what is it concerned with, promoting sustainable energy and that is what we in the industrial part are looking for a way to open the panorama with clients to go to this trend of renewable energy.

The director of industrial projects commented that "with this government, energy is a whole issue, so we have to find a way to attract those markets, and encourage the CFE to increase loads, to build more substations like in Ciudad Juárez to keep growing the industry

Ciudad Juárez is 95% industrial since 2010 the load increased and that is why more industrial parks are being built. René Morlet, affirmed that the route to develop sustainable industrial buildings the increase is an additional five percent.

“Actually, aligning companies with sustainability only results in a 5% additional cost during construction. If we talk about the real problem, this is found in the war that is taking place between Russia and Ukraine, since between 20 and 25 percent of the steel recycling is generated there,” he explained.

He pointed out that although the northern border is the preferred one for companies that come to settle and operate in the country, El Bajío grows in square meters of industrial buildings, so Querétaro, León, San Luis Potosí and Aguascalientes attract investment, "but we must tighten the nut on security issues" because he warned that otherwise the investment will stop coming.
