Segment

Energy

Thomson Reuters’ Project Finance International in 2018 awarded Norte III the LatAm Power Deal of the Year, for restructuring and revitalizing the project to build a crucial power plant for northern Mexico.

The design involves 2 modules, each equipped with 2 gas turbines and 1 steam turbine, which will make it possible to reach a guaranteed minimum net power output of 906 MW with a 6,369 kJ/kWhr heat rate.
