Energy self-sufficiency ratio: 0.76.
In 2019, Jalisco was one of the states with the highest electricity consumption and low production, leading to 99% of its energy being imported. This percentage has decreased to 40% in recent years, but blackouts continue to occur due to industrial growth, and demand is expected to keep rising. The state’s transmission infrastructure is more robust than its generation capacity.
*Energy self-sufficiency divides production by energy consumption.
An index greater than one indicates the state has surplus energy, while an index less than one indicates the state does not produce enough energy.
