Mexicali is 10 miles south of El Centro, Calif., and about 80 miles east of San Diego."Electricity from this new power plant can help alleviate California's energy crisis," said Donald Felsinger, Sempra Energy group president.Natural gas fuel for the plant will be delivered through the new North Baja Pipeline, which will begin construction this summer. In order for Termoelectrica de Mexicali's power to be exported into California, permits will be required from the Mexican Energy Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy, but not from California regulators.
