Background
The San Luis Río Colorado 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).
Official government estimates of the plant's capacity have ranged from 647.9 MW[12][13][14] to 680 MW[15] to 769.70 MW.[14]
Construction of the plant was originally scheduled to begin in May 2020[16] with a projected budget of 5.5 billion MXN (Mexican pesos)[17] and an anticipated completion date of 2024.[17][18]
Construction actually got underway in January 2022 and was slated for completion by January 2025.[12] The project was said to be 70% complete as of Dec 31, 2023[14], and 88% complete by September 2024.[13]
As of September 2024, Mexico's federal electricity commission CFE anticipated that the plant would begin commercial operations in June 2025.[13]
