Background

As of April 2021, the CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad) had not released the information needed for bidding on the proposed power station.[2]As of December 2022, it appeared that the Mexican government had elected to abandon the Riviera Maya power station project in favor of the Valladolid IV CC power station.[3] With no progress in more than two years, the Riviera Maya project was presumed to be shelved.
