Mexico derives 70% of its energy requirements from thermal power facilities. Replacing those with combined cycle gas turbine systems is likely to save the nation loads of money if shale gas is used a fuel.

Toshiba has delivered 23 STG sets for thermal and geothermal power projects in Mexico, one of which was for the Centro Morelos Combined Cycle Power Plant in 2013. Abengoa was the EPC contractor for the Mexican power project as well.
