The project has an estimated worth of $397m and will be equipped with two gas turbo-generator units, two heat recovery boilers with three pressure levels and a steam turbine.
Commissioning of the power plant is expected to be completed in April 2018, following which the state-owned energy giant Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) will be in charge of its operations.
Siemens power and gas division for Latin America vice-president José Aparicio said: "CFE is becoming a pioneer in the integration of environmentally-compatible and resource-saving power generation solutions in Latin America.
