In brief: US-Mexico cross-border gas pipeline network concluded
* Mexico’s state-own electricity firm, Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), has announced the conclusion of the construction of the final tract of the ‘Wahalajara’ cross-border gas pipeline network that links Waha natural gas fields in the US state of Texas, to the city of Guadalajara in Mexico’s Jalisco state. The 388km final tract links existing pipelines that supply gas to the central Mexican states of San Luis Potosí and Aguascalientes. A CFE statement noted that the natural gas produced at the Waha fields is the cheapest in the world; and that the new 2,150km pipeline network will now supply this fuel to the firm’s gas-powered electricity producing plants across central Mexico, helping to reduce the cost of electricity for CFE customers in central Mexico. According to the statement, the supply of natural gas from Waha will reduce CFE’s production costs by some US$182m in 2021.
