Industrial capabilities and energy, in the same place
Lineup map of Mexico with industrial capabilities, transmission lines and investment layers shown together.

The idea behind Lineup

Industrial policy is a coordination problem.

A clean factory needs four things at one place, at one time. Miss one and the bet does not convert. The hard part is the lineup, not any single ingredient.

Energy
Clean power at a specific node
Capability
What the place can already make
Capital
Who invests, on what terms
Buyers' rules
Standards a buyer will qualify

From evidence to action

Where does your state stand?

Choose your state, compare opportunities and constraints, and define the next decision in a brief you can share.

Try a question · Querétaro

A new load. Different decisions.

How does the scenario change when the connection mode and supporting infrastructure change? Compare two saved configurations, then open the model to explore the assumptions.

Baseline result: Cannibalize

The load stays connected to the public grid, with no added clean generation, storage or transmission plan in this configuration. The model reports less room for industry.

Both configurations use a 1,120 MW load and a 250 MW industrial ambition. These are scenario assumptions, not forecasts.

Captured Querétaro model result for a grid-connected 1,120 MW load with no additional levers: Cannibalize.
Captured from Lineup on 8 September 2026. This preview compares saved model outputs; the full tool lets you change the inputs.Screening only. Results depend on the assumptions and do not replace an engineering capacity study.

Explore the portfolio

Five value chains. A closer look inside each.

Each card brings together products, locations, buyer requirements, sequencing and financing considerations.

The portfolio combines three plays from the original screening with two added by direction in August 2026. It is not simply the five highest-ranked candidates today.

How the portfolio and current ranking relate

The September 2026 HS2022 basket correction places Auto Supplier first, Power Electronics second, EV Components third and Grid Hardware fourth in the reference ranking. Heat Pumps ranks fifth and Electric Vehicles seventh. The selector preserves both the original selection and the current reference.

Auto Supplier stays first across 1,000 tested weight draws. This tests sensitivity to weights. It does not establish a project’s probability of success.

National export figures in the cards use BACI 2024 product baskets; state trade uses the revised 2025 OEC / DataMexico edition. The two chains added in August cover wider baskets than their narrower selector plays; each card distinguishes them. The selector also preserves the 2022 screening record.

Read the evidence

Understand what supports the result.

A useful comparison shows its sources, assumptions and gaps alongside the conclusion.

Sources and dates

Datasets have different observation periods. BACI 2024 trade data, historical infrastructure inventories and planning scenarios describe different things; an interactive view does not make them real-time observations.

Assumptions you can inspect

Follow the methods behind the rankings and scenario outputs. A change in a weight or an input is an analytical choice, not new observed evidence.

Limits that remain visible

Installed generation is not firm capacity or available grid headroom. A price signal is not an engineering certification. Missing evidence remains a gap to investigate.

A starting point for the next decision

Lineup supports screening and discussion. It does not certify a connection, replace engineering studies, optimize dispatch or decide for institutions. Fiscal results are reported separately and do not enter the rankings.

The next step

Bring a question about your state.
