Decenas de ejecutivos empresariales se reunieron en Brownsville para hacerse una idea de los cambios que est\u00e1 experimentando la econom\u00eda durante una reciente conferencia de YTexas, y las infraestructuras fueron uno de los temas clave del evento.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La demanda de acceso a estos servicios \u2014desde el suministro de agua hasta la electricidad e incluso Internet\u2014 aumentar\u00e1 debido a varios proyectos importantes y a la expansi\u00f3n de diversas empresas en el puerto de Brownsville.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America First Refining, la empresa del norte de Texas responsable de una refiner\u00eda de petr\u00f3leo de entre 3.000 y 4.000 millones de d\u00f3lares situada en el puerto, prev\u00e9 inyectar el exceso de electricidad a la red, generada a partir de hidr\u00f3geno que, de otro modo, no se utilizar\u00eda y que se produce durante el proceso de refinado del petr\u00f3leo de esquisto ligero del oeste de Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Ramsey, director de operaciones de America First Refining, explic\u00f3 a los asistentes que prev\u00e9 que la empresa trate su propia agua. Una refiner\u00eda de esa envergadura podr\u00eda necesitar hasta 5.300 acre-pies de agua al a\u00f1o.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abTambi\u00e9n estamos colaborando muy estrechamente con el puerto y la empresa local de servicios p\u00fablicos en lo relativo al suministro de agua, y nos aseguramos de que, si hay medidas que debamos tomar o inversiones que debamos realizar como empresa privada para garantizar que haya agua para todos, lo haremos\u00bb, afirm\u00f3 Ramsey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seg\u00fan explic\u00f3, se prev\u00e9 que la nueva refiner\u00eda genere un excedente de electricidad, y la empresa tiene previsto venderlo a la red el\u00e9ctrica local.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abPara asegurarnos de que no consumimos demasiada energ\u00eda de la red el\u00e9ctrica y eso afecta a los residentes y al resto de inquilinos del puerto, estamos construyendo nuestra propia planta de generaci\u00f3n de energ\u00eda en nuestras instalaciones, corriendo con los gastos\u00bb, afirm\u00f3.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America First Refining tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 trabajando en un programa de desarrollo de la mano de obra y formaci\u00f3n profesional, y espera generar puestos de trabajo bien remunerados. La empresa prev\u00e9 ofrecer salarios similares a los de Corpus Christi y Houston para atraer talento, seg\u00fan ha declarado Ramsey.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abVamos a pagar salarios muy similares a los que se cobrar\u00edan si la gente se marchara de este mercado local, en una zona que, francamente, tiene un coste de vida m\u00e1s bajo que el de algunas de las otras ciudades m\u00e1s grandes de Texas\u00bb, afirm\u00f3. \u00abAhora mismo tenemos un calendario muy apretado porque estamos recibiendo mucha presi\u00f3n por parte de nuestro nuevo socio para, ya sabes, avanzar m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido\u00bb.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La ciudad de Brownsville ha estado ampliando su infraestructura de Internet, incluyendo 100 millas de fibra \u00f3ptica inactiva, lo que permitir\u00eda a las empresas disponer de conexiones de alta velocidad en toda la ciudad. Recientemente,<\/a> Brownsville ha recibido una subvenci\u00f3n de casi 22 millones<\/a> de<\/a> d\u00f3lares<\/a> del estado de Texas para instalar otras 138 millas de fibra \u00f3ptica que se extender\u00e1n hasta la ciudad de Starbase.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La ciudad de Brownsville tiene una extensi\u00f3n de 139 millas cuadradas, y el alcalde John Cowen ha estimado que solo se ha urbanizado aproximadamente el 50 % de la ciudad, con unos 55 000 hogares en todo el t\u00e9rmino municipal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLo cual supone una gran oportunidad para decir que queremos marcar el rumbo de nuestro crecimiento. Queremos ser muy conscientes y reflexivos a la hora de planificar nuestras viviendas, nuestros parques y nuestras redes de transporte, de modo que sentemos las bases para los pr\u00f3ximos 20, 30 o 40 a\u00f1os de crecimiento\u00bb, afirm\u00f3 Cowen. \u00abVamos a tener que aprovechar al m\u00e1ximo los mercados privados locales para trabajar codo con codo y asegurarnos de dar respuesta a los 25 000 puestos de trabajo que probablemente llegar\u00e1n aqu\u00ed en los pr\u00f3ximos 5 a\u00f1os\u00bb.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando se le pregunt\u00f3 sobre la infraestructura h\u00eddrica y la disponibilidad de agua, especialmente durante una sequ\u00eda y ante la previsi\u00f3n de escasez de agua, Cowen afirm\u00f3 que confiaba en que se estuvieran llevando a cabo suficientes medidas de diversificaci\u00f3n del suministro de agua.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abCreo que Brownsville est\u00e1 muy bien situada. Contamos con nuestro propio sistema municipal de servicios p\u00fablicos, que suministra electricidad, agua y gesti\u00f3n de aguas residuales\u00bb, afirm\u00f3.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se\u00f1al\u00f3 que AEP Texas tiene previsto construir una l\u00ednea de transmisi\u00f3n de 765 kilovoltios que conectar\u00eda el Valle del R\u00edo Grande con las instalaciones de generaci\u00f3n el\u00e9ctrica de todo Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La planta desalinizadora de agua salobre, cuya propiedad mayoritaria corresponde al ayuntamiento de Brownsville, ya genera aproximadamente un tercio del suministro, y actualmente se est\u00e1 llevando a cabo una ampliaci\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cowen tambi\u00e9n mencion\u00f3 el proyecto propuesto por RGV Desal LLC, que podr\u00eda producir hasta 100 millones de galones de agua de mar al d\u00eda en South Padre Island.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abEso aportar\u00e1 mucha m\u00e1s resiliencia a la zona\u00bb, afirm\u00f3. \u00abNo prevemos ning\u00fan problema importante. Pero estos proyectos llevan mucho tiempo\u00bb.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En el interior del puerto de Brownsville, el m\u00e1ximo responsable del puerto afirm\u00f3 que tanto \u00e9l como el consejo de administraci\u00f3n se muestran cautelosos ante la posibilidad de depender en exceso de un solo sector, ya sea la construcci\u00f3n naval o el energ\u00e9tico.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abNo queremos convertirnos en el principal puerto energ\u00e9tico. Queremos poder atraer a la industria manufacturera avanzada y a la industria de valor a\u00f1adido\u00bb, afirm\u00f3 William Dietrich, director general del Puerto de Brownsville. \u00abAlgunos sectores entran en declive, otros crecen, pero lo importante es ser capaces de hacer frente a cualquier p\u00e9rdida a medida que avanzamos; poder contar con esa flexibilidad en el ecosistema, porque todo cambia cada d\u00eda\u00bb.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
