Here is the text.. I just re-read it.. it specifies the gas will come “from the southern basins of the US” and will even fuel the “ the new Transistmian gas pipeline”. I’m feeling better than I have in almost a year!!! Let’s go MRGE!!!
STRATEGIES OF THE FEDERAL ELECTRICITY COMMISSION TO SUPPLY NATURAL GAS TO THE MEXICAN PENINSULAS
November 25, 2021
• With an investment of 4,500 million dollars, it is planned to have an average supply of 120 to 400 MMcfd in the Yucatan Peninsula, to contribute to the economic growth of the Southeast.
• In the Baja California Peninsula, the generation capacity with low emissions has been strengthened thanks to a contract to supply up to 20 MMcfd of natural gas.
The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is carrying out strategic actions to supply Natural Gas to the Yucatan and Baja California peninsulas, through the development of energy projects in which it is collaborating with private initiative.
To supply the Yucatan Peninsula, the CFE, in agreement with SENER and CENAGAS, is carrying out an infrastructure project with an investment of 4.5 billion dollars. With this, it is proposed to have an average daily supply of 120 to more than 400 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd). This will allow the CFE to transport natural gas from the southern basins of the United States to the Yucatan Peninsula, supplying the existing and new plants in Mérida and Valladolid, as well as the new Transistmian gas pipeline, and providing redundancy and operational flexibility to the Refinery. of Dos Bocas in Tabasco. With the completion of this project, it contributes to the economic and social development of the Southeastern states, with benefits in electricity rates and access to natural gas for its population.
In the case of the Baja California Peninsula, on March 26 of this year CFE formalized a natural gas supply contract with the private company New Fortress for up to 20 MMcfd to supply two power plants located in La Paz, Baja California Sur: CT Punta Prieta and CCI Baja California Sur. Both plants have a dual generation capacity (that is, they can use both Diesel and Natural Gas), which makes it possible to substitute Diesel consumption for Natural Gas, reducing the impact of polluting emissions in the area. In addition to this, the CFE allocated 6 aero-derivative generation units to reinforce Baja California Sur's electrical system, which are already installed and ready to be dispatched by CENACE.
With the development of these projects, the CFE's commitment to its corporate purpose of supplying electricity to all areas of the country is reinforced and at the same time meets the need of the Mexican population in the peninsulas, to bring them natural gas, contribute to the development of its industry and strengthen its electricity generation.
