Contrary to what former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador presumed, that Baja California would be integrated into the National Electric System with the operation of the Puerto Peñasco photovoltaic plant, this state will remain isolated.
This was admitted at the federal government's morning press conference by Emilia Esther Calleja Alor, director general of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFEF), who revealed that Baja California's interconnection to the national grid is under analysis.
She added that while technology has evolved, a new analysis is being conducted to determine the feasibility of making the connection safely and without putting the national system at risk.
During the inauguration of the first phase of the Puerto Peñasco photovoltaic plant, the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) emphasized that its generating capacity would be 1,000 megawatts.
