La Paz, Baja California Sur /
Andrés Manuel López Obrador, President of Mexico, said that you are satisfied with the way in which various departments and agencies of your administration have dealt with the crisis due to lack of natural gas.
During the inauguration of the Baja California Sur aero-derived turbogas generating units, the federal president indicated that the Federal Electricity Commission was needed to solve this deficit in five days, while Texas continues with this problem.
“I am very satisfied with the result, with the way in which CFE treated this crisis … How long did it take us to solve the problem? Five days, five days for the work of workers, technicians of the Federal Electricity Commission. I’m really sorry about what’s going on in Texas, but it still doesn’t solve your problem“We face each other well because we were waiting, because we made early decisions, Before the outbreak of the crisis, there was already an emergency meeting between the CFE and the Ministry of Energy and they were already asking me if I could use more Pemex fuel oil at a low price to start all the power plants in the country and to charge enough energy in the whole network “, he underlined.
López Obrador emphasized that this situation leaves them with an extraordinary lesson: “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” and this ensured, Mexico has several sources to generate energy.
He explained that the country’s thermoelectric and hydroelectric projects were immediately put into operation.
“We have to have that experience of having more options. Imagine in Texas, I say it with all due respect, you have no choice but natural gas, this crisis is coming and you have no choice, you have no other alternative. Here, when the price of natural gas starts to rise and when it decides that they will not supply us with natural gas liquefied gas vessels and other actions are immediately engaged. This is a very good lesson, don’t just bet on one type of fuel, of course, look for them in the possible non-polluting fuels “, he explained.
He pledged to all environmentalists to turn diesel or fuel oil plants into natural gas.
In the end, announced that it will soon reveal the modernization plan for the hydroelectric power plants, which contemplates changing turbines to increase energy.
