Background
Plans to install a co-generation plant at the Miguel Hidalgo refinery in Tula de Allende, Hidalgo date back to 2014.[6][7] The stated capacity of the proposed power plant has varied over time, from 444 MW[8] to 638 MW[6][7] to the 869 MW figure proposed by CFE and Pemex in December 2019 as part of a program to install similar power plants at six refineries by 2024.[9]
As recently as October 2020, the news outlet Milenio reported that Pemex and CFE were moving forward with plans to commission the project by 2023.[10] However, as of December 2022, there had been no news of the proposed cogeneration plant in more than two years, so it was presumed to be shelved.
