Background
In May 2016, IEnova entered into a 21-year natural gas transportation services agreement with the CFE to develop, construct and operate the 12.5-mile Empalme Lateral pipeline. The pipeline, originally estimated to cost $12 million, was scheduled for commissioning in the first half of 2017.[6]
The pipeline was ready to begin commercial operations upon completion of construction in June 2017[2][3], but it subsequently experienced commissioning delays.[5] As of February 2019 the US $10.8 million project reportedly remained idle, having been used only for tests.[7] However, as of July 2022, according to the website of Mexico's federal electricity commission CFE, the pipeline had already been operational for more than five years.[2]
