“In the face of a possible interruption in the flow of natural gas for power generationthe CFE reports that it is ready through a joint action plan with all areas,” said the state-owned company run by Manuel Bartlett.
The CFE announced that it will use the entire generation park possible to guarantee electricity supply to the population of Mexicoin addition to resorting to switching generation plants with alternative fuels to natural gas.
