Overview

• Federal officials set an estimated investment of about $800 million, with the state‑owned CFE developing, constructing and operating the plants.
• The projects use tower‑based concentrated solar power with molten‑salt storage designed for roughly 11 hours of continuous operation, enabling night generation.
• Site selection is underway, with licitation targeted for late 2025 or early 2026 and construction expected to take 36 to 48 months.
• Combined output is planned at around 100 MW, with benefits cited for roughly 101,000 to 202,000 homes and a land footprint of approximately 240 to 480 hectares.
• The plants form part of the 2025–2030 expansion plan to reinforce Baja California Sur’s supply, displace combustóleo, diésel and gas, and advance the legal goal of at least 35% clean generation by 2030.
