Post completion of the construction, the project is expected to get commissioned in December 1975. Buy the profile here.
Description
The project is being developed and currently owned by Comision Federal de Electricidad. The company has a stake of 100%.
It is a Steam Turbine power plant. The power plant can run on dual-fuel. The primary fuel being used to power the plant will be petcoke, oil. In case of shortage of petcoke, oil the plant will run on Natural Gas.
The project will generate 2,475,000MWh of electricity.
Altamira Thermal Power Plant (Altamira Thermal Power Plant Unit III) consists of 1 steam turbine with 250MW nameplate capacity.
Altamira Thermal Power Plant (Altamira Thermal Power Plant Unit IV) consists of 1 steam turbine with 250MW nameplate capacity.
Development status
Post completion of the construction, the project is expected to get commissioned in December 1975.
