Background
Reports from 2014 said that Cogeneracion Cactus was to be built at a Pemex-owned gas processing facility in Tabasco, Mexico and was slated to begin operating in 2018.[4]
Pemex sold off the Cactus Cogeneration business in 2016[5] after failing to find partners for the cogeneration plants.[6]
