Riviera Maya, Q.R. — The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) will invest somewhat more than 337 million peso the next year on seven different infrastructure projects located all around the state of Quintana Roo.
The seven projects are expected to receive a total of around 337 million peso in 2023, which is an increase of 45.6 million peso in comparison to the amount allocated in 2022. According to the findings of a research conducted by the Economic Analysis Branch of the Chamber of Deputies, the projects are regarded as essential for the purpose of preserving and expanding the power generation capacities of the state.
According to the document titled “Federal Public Budget Project for the State of Quintana Roo 2022-2023,” the project with the highest estimated cost is the “Central Turbo Gas de Cancun (Benito Juárez),” which is estimated to cost slightly over 95.5 million pesos. The goal of the projects, as stated by the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), is to “maintain the effective capacity (CE) and the dependability of the generation process of the power plant units.”
The Central Turbo Gas de Chankanaab (Cozumel) project is estimated to cost 86.1 million peso, and the Holbox Internal Combustion Plant (Lázaro Cárdenas) project is estimated to cost 72.3 million peso. Both of these projects are slated to begin the following year.
Additionally, CFE will build the Nizuc Turbo Gas Plant in Benito Juárez at a cost of 42.9 million pesos prior to the construction of the Hul-Xá Turbo Gas Plant in the southern municipality of Othón P. Blanco at a cost of 22 million pesos.
Following that will be the building of the Yumil Iik Wind Plant in the municipality of Benito Juarez at a cost of 450,000 pesos, as well as a separate project for the construction of a 115 kilowatt Nizuc Substation at a cost of 17.4 million pesos.
According to the CFE, the primary goals of these projects are “to modernize the necessary infrastructure in the state of Quintana Roo to guarantee, in the short and medium term, the supply of electrical energy for this region, with the required quality, reliability, and safety in accordance with the planning criteria of the National Electric System.”
Manuel Bartlett Dáz, the General Director of the Federal Electricity Commission, stated on December 15 that the CFE is in the process of strengthening and transforming itself in a press release that was issued within the framework of the results for the year 2022 and the strategies for the year 2023 of CFE Distribución and CFE Suministrador de Servicios Básicos.
He claims that the CFE is currently consolidating its position as an energy firm thanks to the sale of natural gas and technology that has been developed as a result of the CFE’s innovative development of its processes and infrastructure.
