ELECTRICITY AND STEAM COGENERATION BUSINESS: To ensure the competitiveness of its businesses, CYDSA decided in 2013 to invest in Electricity and Steam Cogeneration, supplying its own energy requirements while managing Cogeneration as an additional business within its portfolio.

In March 2014, Cogeneration Plant I began operations in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, with a maximum capacity of 57 megawatts of electricity and the capability to produce 65 tons of steam per hour, utilizing a natural gas-fired combustion turbine system.

Cogeneration Plant Il began operations in March 2016, with the same technical characteristics, installed capacity and location as Plant I. Plant Il was developed to satisfy the energy requirements of Group facilities not supplied by Plant I.

Both plants hold the Efficient Cogeneration Investment Certification granted by the Mexican energy authorities through the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE).

With both plants operating steadily and in accordance with their design capacity, this business is capable of meeting all electricity requirements of CYDSA’s businesses, while generating a surplus that allows participation in the Mexican electricity market.
