Power Plants in Mexico

ContourGlobal acquired two highly efficient combined heat and power (“CHP”) plants in Mexico in 2019. The two CHP plants provide electricity and steam under medium and long-term contracts to high-quality private counterparties.

CELCSA, located in Cosoleacaque, Veracruz, has a capacity of 104MW and entered into commercial operations in December 2014. It provides power and steam to Alpek’s adjacent petrochemical plants (subsidiaries of Alfa S.A.B. de C.V.) under long-term agreements, with excess power output supplied to large industrial and commercial off-takers in Mexico through medium and long-term agreements. CELCSA is one of the most efficient CHP plants in Mexico.

CGA is located in Altamira, Tamaulipas and has a capacity of 414MW. CGA entered into commercial operations in the third quarter of 2019. Like our other facility in Mexico, CGA is adjacent to a petrochemical plant owned by Alpek that receives steam under a long-term supply agreement. Excess power output is supplied to a diversified portfolio of commercial and industrial off-takers through medium and long-term agreements.

CELCSA and CGA are classified as clean energy technologies in Mexico, a regulatory framework that recognizes the facilities’ superior operating efficiency compared to conventional gas and liquid fired generation.

The Right Power to the Right People

In Tamaulipas, close to our CGA plant in Mexico, our team is carrying out a special project for a special partner. At CRIT Tamaulipas, one of Fundación Teletón’s rehabilitation centers, new panels will cover half of the facility’s energy needs, freeing up resources that go straight back into the care of the children treated there every day.

It’s a partnership between ContourGlobal and Teletón built on a simple belief: the right energy can transform lives. In line with our purpose, The Right Power Forward, this project is about more than generating power, it’s about making sure that energy reaches those who need it most, bringing hope and opportunity to the community it serves. Watch the video below to see how this project is lighting up a brighter future for the children and families of Teletón.

Fundación Teletón is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive, quality care to people with disabilities, cancer, and autism, helping them reach their full potential and be included in society. Every day, the foundation works with the commitment to building a more inclusive Mexico, where everyone can live and fully exercise their rights.
