Background
Plans to install a co-generation plant at the Miguel Hidalgo refinery in Tula de Allende, Hidalgo date back to 2014.[7][8] The stated capacity of the proposed power plant has varied over time, from 444 MW[9] to 638 MW[7][8] to the 869 MW figure proposed by CFE and Pemex in December 2019 as part of a program to install similar power plants at six refineries by 2024.[10]
As recently as October 2020, the news outlet Milenio reported that Pemex and CFE were moving forward with plans to commission the project by 2023.[11] However, as of December 2022, there had been no news of the proposed cogeneration plant in more than two years, so it was presumed to be shelved.
As of October 2024, given the lack of further development over the past four years, the project was presumed to be cancelled.
