Mexico and the US are working on ambitious plans to turn parts of the border region into a clean energy hub, replete with solar and wind plants, lithium mining and electric vehicle factories, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Monday.
Mexico is looking to build five large solar plants, to help remodel car factories for electric vehicles and produce batteries and semiconductors in the state of Sonora, which shares nearly 600 kilometers (370 miles) of border with the US, Lopez Obrador, known as AMLO, said at a daily press conference.
“Mexico has a real future due to this because it has unbeatable conditions,” Lopez Obrador said. “In just one state it has all these possibilities.”
Lopez Obrador is hoping for US help with the “Sonora Plan,” which he said President Joe Biden might sign in a visit to Mexico in December or January.
