Golfo/Penoles
Location: San Luis Potosi
Operator: AES Mexico
Configuration: 2 X 260 MW
Operation: 2003-2004
Fuel: petroleum coke
Boiler supplier: Alstom
T/G supplier: Alstom
Quick facts: Each unit has a pair of CFB boilers with a single T/G
set. In Oct 1998, the Termoelectrica del Golfo (TEG) BOT project was
awarded to a consortium of Alstom Holdings and Sithe after an
international bidding process initiated by Cementos Mexicanos (Cemex).
$277mn of financing was arranged by the IADB including a $100mn credit
facility guaranteed by COFACE. TEG has a 20yr PPA with five Cemex
companies and Cemex has a 20yr contract with Pemex for coke supply. The
offtaker and owner of Termoelectrica Penoles (TEP) is metals and
chemicals company Industrias Penoles, which signed agreements for the
project in May 2000. The plant's development and operation, as well as
fuel supply and grid arrangements are similar to those for TEG. In
October 2000, Industrias Penoles announced that it had secured a $320mn
syndicated loan for the project. In February 2007, AES Corp acquired both the plants for $611mn.
