The federal government has decided not to include Quintana Roo in electricity rate subsidies intended to alleviate costs during the high temperature season, which could have a significant impact on the Hotel sector and the local community.
While several states in the country will benefit from this reduction, Quintana Roo, despite the high demand for energy during the summer, is not on the list of beneficiaries. The states that will receive the subsidy are Baja California, Campeche, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Colima, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Morelos, Nayarit, Nuevo León, San Luis PotosÃ, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Veracruz and Yucatán.
Last year, cities such as Chetumal and Cancún in Quintana Roo, along with others such as Campeche, Mérida, Monterrey, Acapulco, Torreón, Veracruz and Villahermosa, received this support. However, this year the 11 municipalities of Quintana Roo will not have the subsidy.
Quintana Roo’s exclusion from these subsidies could mean a significant increase in electricity costs for residents during the hottest months of the year. Both the hospitality sector and the community have expressed concern about the economic impact this measure will have in a region that relies heavily on tourism and experiences extreme temperatures during the summer.
The lack of subsidies could translate into higher operating costs for hotels and an increase in household expenses, affecting the local economy considerably.
As reported REPORTUR.mxToni Chaves, president of the Riviera Maya Hotel Association (AHRM), recently expressed concern about the electrical blackouts that have occurred in Mexico due to the lack of capacity to generate electrical energy, as much hotter months are coming.
