Con esto, la cifra total alcanzará 105 alianzas energéticas orientadas al desarrollo productivo. Asimismo, proyectó que el dinamismo y la inversión en el sector energético tendrán un impacto directo en el mercado laboral, «visualizando en los próximos cuatro años unos 320.000 empleos entre directos, indirectos y derivados». En relación con la petroquímica, la Mandataria Nacional enfatizó la necesidad de reimpulsar esta industria para convertir las reservas de gas y petróleo en desarrollo tangible, garantizando el suministro de fertilizantes para el campo e insumos clave para los procesos industriales del país. Destacó que el fortalecimiento petroquímico no solo busca cubrir el consumo nacional y exportar moléculas de gas, sino también generar un alto valor agregado en encadenamiento con la manufactura, el sector eléctrico y la industria nacional, proyectando a la petroquímica como la tercera gran fuente de ingresos en divisas para la nación y un motor clave en la generación de empleo.
