The Mexican Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) has announced the opening of the Baja California III combined cycle power plant in Baja California, Mexico.

The station is operated by Iberdrola. The capacity of the facility is 314 MW, of which 294 MW are supplied to the FECE, and the remaining 20 MW can be sold on the wholesale electricity market. The plant has a net generating capacity of 294 MW and is designed to meet the low-CO2 consumer demand of 40% of Baja California residents. The Baja California III uses gas as fuel and seawater for open-circuit cooling. The project will eliminate the power shortage in the state of Baja California. Before the project, the state was forced to import electricity from the US, now the state can export electricity to the US.

Detailed engineering is being developed by IDOM and Iberdrola.
