This pipeline would double the natural gas transportation capacity to the Yucatan Peninsula, with safe and affordable energy for the two combined cycle plants that the Federal Energy Commission is building in the region.

The governor of the state of Quintana Roo, Mara Lezama Espinosa, met this Friday with representatives of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) with whom she raised the need to incorporate Quintana Roo in the project under construction of the Mayakán Energy Gas Pipeline.

This pipeline would double the natural gas transportation capacity to the Yucatan Peninsula, with safe and affordable energy for the two combined cycle plants that the CFE is building in the region.

The incorporation of Quintana Roo in the project represents a priority, since the entity needs natural gas to continue promoting its development, in this stage of profound transformation.

“It was a fruitful meeting, with many benefits for Quintana Roo, attracting new investments and greater economic growth,” said Mara Lezama when referring to this strategic project.

It also includes carrying out all the necessary procedures, such as the environmental impact statement, the environmental risk study and the accident prevention programme.
