The Governor of Sonora, Alfonso Durazo Montaño, has highlighted the state's crucial role in fostering a new economic dynamic between Mexico and the United States, spurred by the expansion of the Port of Guaymas. The project represents a significant investment of 130 billion pesos, as announced by President Claudia Sheinbaum, and is part of the Sustainable Energy Sonora Plan aimed at creating an energy and logistics corridor. This strategic investment is set to enhance Sonora's economic landscape and facilitate trade relations with the US.

Governor Durazo has held meetings at the Port of Guaymas with key officials such as Tommy Joyce, the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Energy, and Consul Drew Hoster to discuss the acceleration of priority projects. Among these projects is a liquefied natural gas plant estimated to cost $6.8 billion, which is expected to lower fuel costs in the region by up to 30%. This development is designed not only to bolster local economy but also to promote energy security by ensuring a reliable supply of natural gas.

Additionally, plans are underway to build a pipeline from Hermosillo to Guaymas, linking Texas' gas supply with the Pacific. This infrastructure is anticipated to provide a pathway for increased energy flow, thereby reinforcing the economic ties with the United States. The enhancements at the Port of Guaymas signify a significant step in region's commitment to sustainable energy and economic development, which in turn is expected to stimulate growth and job creation throughout Sonora, establishing it as an essential hub in North America's energy landscape.
