Tamaulipas is entering a new phase of energy development as federal officials move forward with $8.17 billion in electrical-transmission investments designed to support industrial growth along the Texas–Mexico border.

The funding comes from Mexico’s Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), the country’s state-owned electric utility that builds and operates the national power grid. 

Its 2025–2030 investment plan intends to expand the nation’s electrical grid and ensure there’s enough electrical capacity to support new manufacturing tied to nearshoring.

Border cities driving industrial demand

Reynosa and Matamoros anchor Tamaulipas’ industrial belt along the border, serving as major manufacturing and logistics hubs across from McAllen and Brownsville.
