Allseas, a U.S. offshore energy contractor, has completed its offshore pipelay work for the Southeast Gateway natural gas pipeline project in southeastern Mexico
The 700-kilometer (435-mile) pipeline runs along the Gulf of Mexico coast, connecting the Mexican ports of Tuxpan, Coatzacoalcos and Dos Bocas. It is designed to supply natural gas to Mexico’s central and southeast regions and bolster existing Transportadora de Gas Natural de la Huasteca (TGNH) assets
The TGNH assets include the Tamazunchale pipeline (370 kilometres)
which has a capacity of 825 million cubic feet per day
between Naranjos and Tamazunchale and 630 million cubic feet per day
TGNH assets also included the Tula-Villa de Reyes pipeline (420 kilometres)
which has a capacity of 886 million cubic feet per day
and the Tuxpan-Tula pipeline (276 kilometres)
The Southeast Gateway project is being developed by TC Energy
in partnership with the Mexican state-owned utility Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE)
the pipeline is expected to have a capacity of 1.3 trillion cubic feet daily (13.4 billion cubic meters per year)

Mexico-based Transportes Muciño has moved major components of the Tamazunchale II power plant from the port of Tampico to the construction site in San Luis Potosí
The project took place from March to May 2021 and saw Transportes Muciño handle a gas turbine
steam turbine and generator on behalf of Mitsubishi Power Americas
The heaviest component was the 380-tonne generator that measured 10.2 m x 5.43 m x 5.41 m
The route from the port had to overcome multiple obstacles
Transportes Muciño relied on equipment from Goldhofer for the work
namely the manufacturer’s heavy-duty modules and its Faktor 5 girder bridge
The transport began with a 2x18 axle line Faktor 5 combination with one pushing and two towing trucks
the team reconfigured the convoy to a 2x9-axle parallel combination
the convoy traversed over 46 hairpin turns
even passing a 54-degree bend in Chapulhuacanito
After another reconfiguration to a 2x12 axle line parallel combination
the Muciño team made their way to the power plant
the synchronised ADDrive modules were once again called upon to independently moved the convoy through a 19 percent decline to its final destination
The difficult route also required six major bridge reinforcements
Some of the bridges had to be crossed without trucks in order to reduce the total weight and avoid long detours

This program focused on 41 communities in the municipalities of San Martín Chalchicuautla
We launched an ambitious social action plan in this region
including projects that will help more than 10,000 people
One of the main ones is the rehabilitation of roads and highways to guarantee free transit
An example is the repair of sections of the Mixcotla highway
between La Providencia and the Tecnológico de Tamazunchale junction
The reconstruction of pedestrian sidewalks in urban areas and the surfacing of plots of land are other examples of works scheduled for completion in 2021
we are also performing infrastructure works in schools
We firmly believe that education is fundamental for the development of communities
so educational infrastructure is one of our fields of action
Examples of this are the reconstruction of roofs in the rural elementary school «La Revolución de 1910» and the Telesecundaria Cuixcuatitla
Health is a very important pillar in our social actions, and our work demonstrates this, which is why we have helped refurbish health centers and clinics in the communities of Palicta and Huexco
With the aim of helping to foster the development of the region
whose economic structure relies largely on agriculture
we launched the Energy for the Countryside program in which we train local producers in integrated management of orchards
making compost for plant nutrition and pest control
Through a series of workshops in Spanish and Nahuatl provided by a local agronomist
we want local producers to have the necessary knowledge to improve their crops
In support of health personnel
as well as for the communities of Tamazunchale and the surrounding municipalities
we have donated more than 35,000 units of medical supplies and distributed 3,000 food packages to the most vulnerable people in the area
All these actions are examples of Iberdrola’s commitment to Mexico and to the regions where our plants and farms generate energy
Although this region is not the only one in the country where we are carrying out social projects – we are doing this in the 15 states where we are present -
it should be noted that we have made a major effort to make a positive difference in San Luis Potosí and we are still going to go further

The South Texas Pipeline transported approximately 15% of Mexico‘s total natural gas imports through pipelines in 2021
This offshore pipeline transports natural gas from Texas to energy and industrial markets in central and eastern Mexico
TC Energy owns a 60% stake and is the operator of the pipeline
The 478-mile (770 km) offshore pipeline transports natural gas from the US border near Brownsville
where it interconnects with the Tamazunchale pipelines and Tula and other third-party gas pipelines
For more than a decade, Mexico has been undergoing a significant transition from fuel oil and diesel as its main energy sources for electricity generation to the use of natural gas
new pipeline infrastructure has been and continues to be required to meet the growing demand for natural gas
The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE)
is the counterparty to all of TC Energy’s existing pipelines under long-term contracts
which are predominantly denominated in US dollars
These fixed rate contracts are generally designed to recover the cost of the service and provide a return on invested capital
As the developer and operator of the pipeline
companies like TC Energy generally bear the risk of construction and operating costs and penalties for service delays
excluding force majeure events that provide schedule relief
services and related fees approved for other potential users
TC Energy’s Natural Gas Pipelines in Mexico segment consists primarily of the company’s investments in 2,503 km (1,554 miles) of regulated natural gas pipelines currently in operation
Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines segmented earnings in 2021 decreased Can$112 million compared to 2020 and increased Can$179 million in 2020 compared to 2019
A weaker US dollar in 2021 had a negative impact on the Canadian dollar equivalent segmented earnings of the company’s operations in Mexico compared to the same period in 2020
while a stronger US dollar in 2020 had a positive impact on Canadian dollar equivalent segmented earnings from its operations in Mexico compared to the same period in 2019

2023.- As part of the Casa Abierta (Open House)
Iberdrola México recognized three women in the Huasteca Potosina for their outstanding academic training and their participation in different initiatives for the community’s benefit in the Health and Sports
“It is a duty for Iberdrola México to drive local talent’s development and promote women’s empowerment in the communities where it has a presence
We are proud to recognize the three winners of the second edition Women with Energy
Their achievements are an example for many more young people to pursue their dreams,” said Manuel Argüelles
manager of Iberdrola México in Tamazunchale
the winners were Yoana Mateo in the Environment category; María Dolores Saavedra in the Social category; and Elvira Prezas Ramírez in Health and Sports
Yoana Ignacia Mateo Hernández is an Environmental Engineer from the Tecnológico de Tamazunchale and represented San Luis Potosí
Mexico and Latin America at ExpoSciences Europe 2022 with a project called “Eco-lution”
which consists of a substance -created by her and her team- which removes ink printed on canvas so that it can be reused in a new print
“I am honored to receive this recognition that drives me to continue researching in favor of the environment
There are extraordinary women in the Huasteca and I humbly hope to be an inspiration for more women to study scientific and technological careers”
the young woman said during the presentation of these awards at the facilities of Iberdrola México in Tamazunchale
Dolores Saavedra Leos is a Chemical Engineer from the UASLP
with a PhD in Biology and Technology from the University of Murcia (Spain)
She has been a research professor for 10 years at the UASL Campus Tamazunchale

The Southeast Gateway pipeline will begin service in mid-2025, said TC Energy
together with Mexico‘s state-owned electricity utility
To size up the project: the 1.3 Bcf/d, 715 km (444 miles) offshore natural gas pipeline will serve the southeast region of Mexico
with an estimated project cost of US$4.5 billion
Subject to regulatory approvals from Mexico’s Federal Economic Competition Commission (Cofece) and Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE)
the strategic alliance between the two companies offers CFE the possibility of an equity stake in Transportadora de Gas Natural de la Huasteca (TGNH)
This participation is conditioned to CFE providing capital
acquiring land and supporting the obtaining of permits for TGNH’s projects
When the Southeast Gateway pipeline enters service
CFE’s equity interest in TGNH will be 15%
and will increase to approximately 35% when the contract expires in 2055
TC Energy forecasts that regulatory approvals related to CFE’s equity interest in TGNH will take up to 24 months
the TGNH System is located in central Mexico and is comprised of the existing Tamazunchale pipeline and the Tula
Villa de Reyes and Southeast Gateway pipelines
with sections in service or currently under construction
This system supplies or will supply several power plants and industrial facilities in Veracruz
The system also has interconnections with upstream pipelines that supply from the Agua Dulce and Waha centers in Texas
TC Energy will continue to focus on the execution of its current capital program
which includes advancing the construction of its Southeast Gateway pipeline in Mexico
mechanical completion of the Coastal GasLink pipeline
as well as the completion and commencement of new pipeline projects in the United States
White & Case advised TC Energy in connection with a $2.3 billion senior term loan and revolving loan financing of its Mexican subsidiary
There were 15 lenders involved in the deal
The loan proceeds were used to refinance existing intercompany debt
which will facilitate the development and construction of the Puerta del Sureste Pipeline
