An event attended by prominent GPG México executives, the manager of the power plant, the Director of Latin American Services of Siemens Energy and the mayor of the municipality of Nacozari de Garcia, highlighting the importance of this significant achievement for the region.

The executives told the audience about the inspiring story that led to the creation of this power plant, designed to address the increasing energy demands of the mining activity in the area. They recalled the initial challenges, the important decisions taken along the way and, most importantly, the group’s vision for the medium and long-term future of La Caridad.
Furthermore, emphasis was placed on the key partnership between SIEMENS, GPG-Naturgy, and Grupo México in relation to this project.
During the ceremony, the plant’s employees and contractors were honoured for their outstanding performance during these 10 years of operation, marked by a remarkable absence of lost-time accidents.
