Energy Supply and Industry in Querétaro
Regarding the state’s energy needs and industry demands, Del Prete mentioned various transmission and distribution projects confirmed by the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE).
In addition to the energy capabilities being managed by private initiatives, an example is the CloudHQ data center campus in Colón, which includes a substation that will benefit other developments.
“We have been informed that the CFE is investing in energy transmission and distribution. (…) I understand that around 600 megawatts of transmission capacity will be generated by the end of this administration. (…) In addition to private investments, such as CloudHQ’s substation, which will support further developments,” he explained.
Del Prete estimated that by the end of the state administration (September 2027), Querétaro will have sufficient electricity capacity to meet the state’s needs.
For the industrial sector, these energy projects provide certainty for their operations due to increasing manufacturing needs and the demand generated by data centers, among other sectors.
Industrial Activity in Querétaro
The Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity (IMAIEF) from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) reported that Querétaro’s industrial activity dropped by 3.3% annually in July, attributed to declining mining, construction, and manufacturing industries.
Del Prete linked the industrial decline to factors such as the complex situation faced by both local and global automotive industries. He remains hopeful that July’s decline will differ from the rest of the year.
