Iberdrola and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) have signed an agreement for two M501J gas turbines, a steam turbine, a spare gas turbine rotor, and a long-term service agreement for the El Carmen combined cycle power plant, located in Nuevo León, Mexico.
The new order for the 850 MW combined cycle power plant is part of Iberdrola’s strategic plan to supply electricity to the growing energy market in Mexico. The El Carmen turbines are scheduled to be delivered in 2018, and commercial operation is expected to commence in September 2019.
