Feb 19 (LNGJ) – IEnova, the Sempra Energy Mexican subsidiary and developer of the Costa Azul export plant, posted gross earnings for the year of more than US$1 billion. However, net profits for 2020 were lower at $461M million compared with $468M in 2019.
IEnova said earnings benefited from the start of operations of the South Texas-Tuxpan pipeline bringing natural gas supplies from the US, partially offset by the revenue deferment at the Guayma-El Oro natural gas pipeline and lower operational results at the Termoeléctrica de Mexicali power plant. The Costa Azul LNG project on the Pacific Coast was given the go-ahead in late 2020 and is being constructed by Europe-based engineering firm Technip Energies.
