El Cajón Dam (Mexico) Dam in Nayarit, Mexico

The El Cajón Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Río Grande de Santiago in the Mexican state of Nayarit. Construction began in 2003 and was completed in June 2007. It cost US$800 million to build. It is 640 m (2,100 ft) long and is 178 m (584 ft) high. The reservoir holds approximately 5,000,000,000 m3 (1.8×1011 cu ft) of water, and the generators are capable of producing 750 MW of electricity. The dam is operated by the Comisión Federal de Electricidad, a state-owned Mexican electric company. Throughout the construction of the El Cajón Dam, the following is estimated:

The Cerro Prieto Geothermal Power Station is a complex of geothermal power stations in Baja California, Mexico. It is the world’s largest complex of geothermal power stations in terms of overall size and the second-largest in terms of energy output, with an installed capacity of 820 MW. The facility is located just south of Mexicali and consists of five individual units, named CP1 through CP5.

This is a list of power stations around the world by countries or regions. A power station is an industrial place for the generation of electric power.

Álvaro Obregón Dam Dam in Cajeme, Sonora

The Álvaro Obregón Dam is an embankment dam on the Yaqui River north of Ciudad Obregón, in Sonora, Mexico. The purpose of the dam is water supply for irrigation, flood control and hydroelectric power production. The dam supports a power station with two generators and a 19 MW installed capacity.

Zimapán Dam Dam

The Zimapán Dam, also known as Fernando Hiriart Balderrama Dam, is an arch dam on the Moctezuma River about 15 km (9 mi) southwest of Zimapán in Hidalgo state, Mexico. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power production and it services a 292 MW power station with water.

Aguamilpa Dam Dam in Tepic Municipality

The Aguamilpa Dam is an embankment dam on the Río Grande de Santiago in the Mexican state of Nayarit, 38 km (24 mi) northeast of Tepic. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supplies a 960 MW power station with water. Construction on the dam began in 1989 and it was completed in 1993 while the power station became operational in 1994.

The Cimarron Solar Facility is a 30 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power station in Colfax County, New Mexico. It was the largest solar facility in the state when completed in December 2010, and uses thin film solar panels manufactured by the U.S. firm First Solar. The electricity is being sold to Tri-State Generation and Transmission under a 25-year power purchase agreement.

As of the end of 2016, New Mexico had 1,112 megawatts (MW) of wind powered electricity generating capacity, responsible for 11% of electricity produced that year. Wind power in New Mexico has the potential to generate more than all of the electricity consumed in the state.
