Background

The Energía de Celaya power station is a joint venture between Fisterra Energy (Blackstone Group) and Grupo DeAcero for a duration of 20 years.[4] Construction was originally expected to begin in 2019, with an anticipated commercial operation start date of 2022.[5] In September 2020, Fisterra Energy, the subsidiary of Blackstone Group working on the project, was contemplating selling their assets in Mexico, putting development of the Energía de Celaya project at risk.[6]

Since 2020, further development of the project had been indefinitely stalled by government policies prioritizing Mexico's state-owned CFE over private power developers.[7] As of December 2022 the project was still listed on Fisterra's website,[8] but its status remained unclear.
