Three companies in Puebla will receive benefits. The beneficiaries are Muéganos El Águila, Conserflow, dedicated to engineering solutions, and the hardware store FERREPAT. This indicates that the state government seeks to open opportunities for investments. The dependency on the automotive industry has been highlighted by Donald Trump's policies.
In recent months, the Federal Electricity Commission, under the leadership of Emilia Calleja, announced investments to modernize the electric service in Mexico. In light of the recent blackout in Europe, it is crucial to improve the infrastructure in the country, especially due to the increasing energy demand from heat waves affecting several states.
Luz Elena González Escobar, Secretary of Energy, presented the National Electric System Strengthening and Expansion Plan 2025-2030 at a morning conference. A federal investment of 624 billion 618 million pesos is expected to modernize the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, as well as increase coverage in Mexico.
The private sector is also contributing to electric generation. Solar energy projects like those from the company Enlight will contribute to the modernization of the national electric infrastructure. Private investment in renewable energies is strategic for the country's energy transition.
In Puebla, after 20 years of bureaucratic obstacles, three companies will begin the construction and expansion of plants in the Tehuacán Industrial Park. These investments total more than 220 million pesos and will generate 480 direct jobs. The current administration has expedited procedures to provide legal certainty to companies interested in establishing themselves in the region's industrial park.
In another context, a judicial case in Mexico highlights the importance of impartiality in courts. Minister Alfredo Gutiérrez Ortiz Mena is analyzing a complaint related to the violation of a person's right to be judged by an impartial tribunal. Although the act committed was condemnable, there is a focus on guaranteeing respect for the procedural rights of all those involved in a trial.
Michoacán is under judicial scrutiny. The Attorney General's Office is investigating former officials from ex-governor Silvano Aureoles' team for alleged acts of corruption. Several former secretaries have been detained, and possible irregularities in contracts with entrepreneurs who did not fulfill public works delivery are being looked into.
In summary, the modernization of the electric system, the attraction of investments to Puebla, and the judicial processes in Michoacán are just some of the topics currently defining Mexico in various fields.
