Energy Secretary Luz Elena González joined President Claudia Sheinbaum in Sonora to unveil investments in energy infrastructure, featuring the expansion of a pipeline to Guaymas. The project encompasses a liquefaction plant to export gas to Asia and enhance supply to southern Mexico. With a 131 billion peso investment, it establishes Mexico as a key energy hub in Latin America.
On Sunday, in an event in Sonora, President Claudia Sheinbaum and Energy Secretary Luz Elena González announced several energy investment projects. A standout is the expansion of the Cenagas-operated pipeline, extending from Naco-Hermosillo to the port of Guaymas. There, a liquefaction plant will be built to export natural gas to Asia while supplying the Secretariat of the Navy (Semar) docks and southern Mexico.
González highlighted the initiative on social media: “In Sonora, important investment projects were announced today, highlighting the expansion of a Cenagas pipeline from Naco-Hermosillo to the port of Guaymas, where there will be a liquefaction plant that will export gas to Asia and provide supply to various Semar docks and the south of the country, strengthening Mexico's energy infrastructure.”
Attendees included Sonora Governor Alfonso Durazo and Cenagas Director Cuitláhuac García. The expansion will stabilize the Federal Electricity Commission's (CFE) power generation centers and improve natural gas distribution to southern Mexico, yielding savings of up to 35% in costs. González also noted the local benefits: “With these projects, we are recovering the port of Guaymas, boosting national development and reactivating the local economy.”
The total 131 billion peso investment solidifies Mexico's role as a strategic energy point in Latin America, advancing both exports and domestic supply.
