NEW YORK, May 24 (Reuters) - Sempra Energy's (SRE.N: Quote, Profile, Research) 600-megawatt Termoelectrica de Mexicali natural gas-fired power station in Mexico returned to service by late Monday, the California Independent System Operator said in a report.
The company curtailed the unit by just 13 MW for planned reasons by late Monday after exiting the weekend shutdown.

The Termoelectrica de Mexicali combined-cycle station is located near Mexicali in Baja California about 115 miles east of San Diego. The station, just south of the California border, can supply electricity to customers in both the United States and Mexico.

One MW powers about 800 homes, according to the North American average.

California-based energy company Sempra's unregulated Sempra Generation subsidiary owns and operates the station.

Sempra subsidiaries own and operate more than 3,500 MW of generating capacity, market energy and other commodities around the world, and transmit and distribute electricity (1.3 million) and natural gas (6.2 million) to customers in California.
