Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Mexico President Lopez Obrador announced plans last month to issue a proposal to increase state-run Comision Federal de Electricidad's (CFE) participation in the nation's electric power market.
The proposed constitutional reform would boost CFE's share from the current 51% to 54%. It is to be sent to Congress by the end of this year.
Earlier this year, Congress approved a bill to prioritize power generation by CFE over private generation, regardless of costs. Affected companies immediately contested the measure in court.
Meanwhile, CFE put in motion planned investment in combined-cycle projects for 2021-2025 and was conducting engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tenders for the construction of six combined-cycle plants with an aggregate capacity of 4.32 gigawatts (GW) and a total investment of $4.5 billion. The six plants are planned to begin construction in early 2022. CFE also has plans for major investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure projects and the construction of another five combined-cycle projects for 2025- 2027.
Industrial Info is tracking more than 320 capital-spending projects being developed by CFE through its subsidiaries. These projects add up to a nearly $14 billion investment, including $5.6 billion in new plant construction, $3 billion in unit additions, $1.1 billion in plant retrofits, upgrades, modernizations and rebuilds, and $4.4 billion in transmission and distribution projects.
