The Power Of Tequila: The Economy Of Mexico’s Distilling Hub Will Soon Get More Buzz

Only 11 percent of the energy used to power factories throughout the state of Jalisco is generated nearby. The rest comes from power plants in other parts of the country, which is costly and inefficient. But when a proposed new natural-gas-fired power plant near Guadalajara, Jalisco’s capital city, comes online in 2020, Tequila will catch a cheaper buzz.

Plane Power: How Software And Jet Engine Tech Are Helping Angola Leapfrog Into the Digital Age

May 02, 2017
Available capital isn’t the only obstacle to economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. Another major hurdle is the lack of reliable electricity. In fact, large parts of the region have no power at all. This makes it hard for entrepreneurs to build businesses, create jobs and generate wealth.
But things are changing. This week, Angola, Africa’s third-largest economy, signed a deal with GE to supply the final 200 megawatts (MW) of power needed to meet the government’s goal of installing 1 gigawatt (GW) of new power generation capacity by the end of 2018.
