Background
The Salamanca CC power station is one of several new combined cycle power projects initiated during the six-year term of Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024).
Official government estimates of the plant's capacity have ranged from 861 MW[19] to 927 MW[20] to 932.39 MW.[21]
Construction got underway in September 2021 and was expected to be completed by September 2024.[20] The project was said to be 93.60% complete as of December 31, 2023[21], and 98.69% complete by September 30, 2024.[20]
As of September 2024, the plant was expected to begin test operations in early October 2024[20], with commercial operations to follow in 2025.[22]
The CCC Salamanca power station began commercial operations on February 14, 2025.[23]
