After almost 100 years of lag, Yucatán will have enough energy to lower electricity rates in favor of Yucatecan families with the two new Combined Cycle plants and they are the result of the efforts of Governor Vila Dosal before the Federation.
Currently, the Mérida IV Plant is being built, which will have a capacity of 499 MW and is already 75% complete, so it is estimated that it will begin operations in November 2024, while the Valladolid Plant, which will have a capacity of 1,020 MW and has a progress of 73%, to be ready in January 2025. In total they represent an investment of more than 1.2 billion dollars.
Likewise, work is being done on growth in the volume of natural gas to have enough for the growth and investments that the entity is receiving, since we would be receiving 940% more than in the previous administration.
The Cuxtal II Project contemplates the construction of 700 kilometers of pipeline with 3 new compression stations and 2 new measurement stations, which would double the transportation capacity of the Mayakan System in the Peninsula, going from 250 million cubic feet per day to 520 million.
In addition, the Mayakan pipeline has already been connected through the Cuxtal 1 gas pipeline to the National Gas transportation system (SISTRANGAS) and this allows the current gas demand of 250 MMPCD to be covered. 1.5 billion dollars are invested in this project.
