Background

Mexico's Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) issued Genvallemex a permit for a 47 MW simple gas turbine power plant in 2013.

A similar-sized plant was constructed by Energia del Valle de México in the same area "in 2013 and it went into operation in 2016." Genvallemex appears to have changed its name to Energia del Valle de México or was bought out by them. EVM Energia is expanding its base by building EVM-II power station nearby.
