Industrial sector participation in energy is urgently needed: Canacintra

TIJUANA – Representatives of the industrial sector in Tijuana urged local authorities for their participation in the field of infrastructure for power generation and to reduce the lag presented by Baja California, as well as to prevent a massive blackout.

Francisco Rubio Rangel, president of the National Chamber of the Transformation Industry (Canacintra) in Tijuana, explained the importance of investing in infrastructure so that the region is competitive and would avoid millions of losses due to lack of infrastructure, this with the objective of guaranteeing the energy supply in the entity.

“It is important that we continue working with the State Government to pressure the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), this in order for us to have this infrastructure,” said Rubio Rangel.

According to experts in power generation, there is a deficit of up to 500 megawatts in Tijuana, which could temporarily stop the investment if it is not attended. This may not guarantee the flow for national or foreign companies to invest in this border region.
