The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is developing the "largest Latin American" photovoltaic project, 1 gigawatt (GW), hybrid, located in northern Mexico, whose first phase is already at full capacity and whose construction process will conclude in 2027. For this first phase, Ingeteam it has supplied 158 megawatts (MW) in transformation centers (24 megawatt hours for the storage system and 146 MW for the photovoltaic plant). In addition, the company has supplied the PPC plant control system, the SCADA monitoring system and has been in charge of commissioning. This is an emblematic project for Mexico, not only because of its size (it occupies 240 hectares and will be gradually expanded to reach 2,000 hectares planned for the next five years), but also because it presents the additional novelty of hybridizing an energy storage system with photovoltaic generation.
With a total investment that will exceed 1,600 million euros, it should be noted that this is the only large-scale photovoltaic plant currently being built in Mexico. Additionally, Ingeteam has supplied the communication equipment in charge of collecting the information from the substation from which the energy is evacuated, to send it to the central remote control posts.
For José Luis González, commercial director of Ingeteam's Solar PV, BESS & Green H2 sector, "this project fits very well with our role as technological partner, where we accompany the client throughout all phases of the project, providing them with a wide range of of solutions in all of them.The fact that our technology has been chosen at a time when new photovoltaic plants are not being developed in Mexico,
