KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 -- Mitsubishi Power Aero LLC and Mitsubishi Power de Mexico, both subsidiaries of Mitsubishi Power Americas Inc have executed a fast-track, turnkey contract to install and commission five 30-megawatt FT8® MOBILEPAC® aero-derivative, dual-fuel gas turbines for CFEnergia SA de CV (CFEN).
According to a statement, CFEN is a subsidiary of Mexico’s Federal Electricity Commission (CFE).
The project, located in Mexicali, Baja California, delivers critical power in time for peak season.
A sixth gas turbine will be added later to expand capacity and support next summer’s requirements.
Mitsubishi Power Aero provides mobile generation equipment combined with in-house EPC expertise which the FT8 MOBILEPAC gas turbine package is ideally suited for rapid deployment to meet emergency power requirements.
The additional power from these units offers peace of mind and energy security to the people and industries in Mexicali.
Additionally, as Mexico works toward integrating intermittent renewable energy generation, these gas turbines will play an important role in supplying flexible, reliable, and mobile energy to bolster grid reliability and resilience.
“Although Mexicali has sufficient capacity to meet the region’s power requirements most of the year, there is a shortfall during peak season causing hardship for all who rely on a steady supply of electricity,” said Mitsubishi Power Aero Vice President of Sales and Business Development, Harsh Shah.
Mitsubishi Power Aero President and Chief Executive Officer, Raul Pereda noted: “The FT8® MOBILEPAC® units are essential assets for Mexico. A compact footprint, minimal site prep, and no permanent foundations give CFE the flexibility to relocate them to other locations to support demand.”
