United M&E Investment Co. Ltd. has appointed Mott MacDonald as its technical advisor for a new combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant in Mexico.
The 158 MW plant is being developed at a cost of $190 million to meet growing demand for electricity in Mexico. It will be constructed in Monterrey, an important commercial and industrial centre in northeast Mexico.
Mott MacDonald will provide technical consultancy services to achieve financial close. This will include guiding United M&E through the process of overseas investment, undertaking site visits, interviews and investigations. The consultancy will also provide support during the engineering, procurement and construction bidding process.
United M&E has signed intention letters with local large energy consumers in the Monterrey region for long-term electricity supply.
Official power purchase agreements will be signed after construction begins, according to Mott MacDonald.
