The State of Mexico has high energy consumption due to its large population and industrial activity, but local energy production is relatively limited compared to its demand.
It is the entity with the highest consumption, and 70% of its energy must be imported from the north, east, and south.
*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.
