It is necessary to have a good energy infrastructure to face the demand for the development of industrial buildings on the northern border and in the center of the country, and not miss out on the advantages that nearshoring offers to the Mexican industry.

Gonzalo Robina, Deputy General Director of Fibra Uno (FUNO) affirmed that the companies that develop industrial parks are ready to serve the market; but they are limited by the infrastructure capacity in energy services.

Tijuana y Ciudad Juárez are the cities with the greatest demand for industrial buildings, followed by El Bajío and the State of Mexico.

“It is a challenge that we face and we are working hand in hand with the authorities. In the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks there is a commission that holds constant meetings with the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE). It is not that CFE has the infrastructure and does not want to give it to us, it simply does not exist and we must collaborate to create it”, said Gonzalo Robina.

For BBVA, the government's current energy policy complicates the installation of industrial buildings, of international companies that seek to establish themselves in our country to invest and move their merchandise because they are inclined towards sustainable energy models.

Carlos Serrano, chief economist at BBVA, explained that more and more companies are under pressure from their shareholders, collaborators and employees so that companies produce energy with less polluting processes.

"And the country cannot guarantee access to wind and solar energy because it is precisely the permits that have been cancelled," said the economist during the presentation of the BBVA Mexico "Real Estate Situation" report for the second half of 2022.

This prevents Mexico from taking full advantage of the investment opportunities that are presented to Mexico due to the nearshoring phenomenon in which companies seek to get closer to supply chains.
