Largest Solar Project in the Americas Moves Forward
Two phases have already been completed and are generating electricity. The first phase entered into operation on April 30, 2023, producing 120 MW of clean energy for the city of Puerto Peñasco. The second phase began operations on September 14, 2024, adding an installed capacity of 300 MW, which is supplied to the city of Mexicali, Baja California. Development of Phase III is currently underway.
Upon completion of all four construction phases, the project will reach 1,000 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity, plus 246 MW through a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), making it the largest solar power plant in the Americas and the fifth largest worldwide.
