Tamaulipas possesses ample fuel supply, affirms Energy Development Secretary, denying any potential shortage concerns.
Stable Fuel Supply in Victoria City, Temporary Shortage in Tapachula
In the eastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, the city of Victoria currently enjoys a stable fuel supply, while parts of Chiapas, including Tapachula, are facing temporary gasoline shortages.
Victoria City's energy infrastructure is thriving, with ongoing projects such as bioethanol plants and wind power development. These initiatives aim to improve energy supply security and diversify sources, ensuring a reliable fuel supply for the region [2][5].
On the other hand, Tapachula and other regions in southern Mexico are experiencing fuel shortages primarily due to logistical challenges. These shortages are linked to Pemex's difficulties in distribution, with fewer tanker trucks available and some delivery responsibilities being transitioned from the Defense Ministry back to Pemex, causing delivery irregularities [1]. Retailers believe there is sufficient gasoline stock at distribution terminals, indicating the issue lies in transportation.
The Secretary of Energy Development for Tamaulipas, Walter Julián Ángel Jiménez, is working on the development of a state gasoline brand to enhance consumer confidence. The brand promises advantages such as surveillance, traceability, and selling "liters for a liter" [3]. Tamaulipas' strategic location makes it a point of access for fuels, with fuel installations at border points such as Nuevo Laredo [4]. The state also boasts a solid infrastructure, including various storage terminals, particularly in Altamira [6].
In Tapachula, retirees are protesting against Pemex due to the fuel shortage, with reports suggesting that the issue is due to unpaid bills [7]. The government of Tamaulipas is in the process of acquiring a gas station in La Pesca [8].
