Background

In March 2019, Mexico Now reported that the Quirey combined heat and power plant would be built to supply power to the Magnelec chemical plant in Laguna del Rey.[4] POSCO E&C, which was to build the plant for Ener AB, expected construction to take 24 months.[5] With no updates since 2019 the project is presumed to be cancelled.
