Overview
- Minsa received CNE authorization to generate electricity for self-consumption at new cogeneration facilities in Jáltipan, Guadalajara, Ramos Arizpe and Ahome.
- Each permit runs for 20 years starting in December 2025, providing long-term certainty for the company’s energy needs.
- Ahome, Ramos Arizpe and Jáltipan are slated to begin operations on January 31, 2026, with Guadalajara scheduled for February 28, 2026.
- The move contrasts with the López Obrador administration, which approved no self-consumption cogeneration projects and challenged private autoabasto schemes.
- Minsa told regulators the plants will power its factories and supply heat for maize-drying ovens, as scrutiny grows over the firm’s ties to a top presidential adviser.
