Background
The González Ortega power station is one of several new combined cycle power projects initiated during the six-year term of Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024). Initial plans called for the power station to receive gas from the USA in the form of LNG from the Energia Costa Azul Terminal.[8]
Official government estimates of the plant's capacity have ranged from 641 MW[9][10][11] to 683 MW[12] to 768.8 MW.[11]
Construction on the plant was originally expected to begin in August 2021.[13] Construction actually got underway in Jan 2022 and was slated for completion by Mar 2025.[9] Construction was said to be 69% to 70% complete as of Dec 31, 2023[11], and 86.2% complete by September 2024.[10]
As of September 2024, Mexico's federal electricity commission CFE anticipated that the plant would begin commercial operations in July 2025.[10]
