Mexico signed an agreement with Karpowership to deploy a floating gas-fired power plant in the Yucatan peninsula, paired with an LNG terminal ship.
CENACE, Mexico’s grid operator, signed the deal with the Turkish energy fleet owner, according to a document seen by Bloomberg.
The project is aimed at lifting electricity generation in Yucatan and reinforcing Mexico’s grid against seasonal blackouts.
The agreement adds to a broader run of private-sector partnerships Mexico has pursued to shore up power supply.
