A contract awarded yesterday will see natural gas available for the first time in the country’s northeast.
The natural gas distribution network will be enlarged to take in seven municipalities in Sonora and Sinaloa.
The Energy Regulatory Commission gave the contract to Gas Natural Fenosa of Spain, which will invest US $14.5 million over five years in pipelines and facilities that will deliver gas to a potential market of 500,000 customers.
The municipalities are Cajeme and Navojoa in Sonora and Ahome, Choix, El Fuerte, Guasave and Salvador Alvarado in Sinaloa. The company said the area is in the heart of one of the country’s richest agriculture regions, where industrial energy demands are strong.
The project will entail the installation of 500 kilometers of pipelines.
Gas Natural Fenosa delivers gas to more than 1.3 million customers in eight states in Mexico, with a distribution network of about 16,000 kilometers.
