Developer Energías Renovables de México Tres has submitted a regional Environmental Impact Assessment (MIA‑R) to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) for a new 90 MW photovoltaic power plant in Campeche. The project will cover nearly 188 hectares across the municipalities of Hecelchakan and Tenabo.
The installation is designed to host 146,350 photovoltaic modules, each rated at 615 Wp, delivering a total capacity of 90 MWp DC and approximately 72 MW AC to the national grid. Plans include solar trackers, inverters, a 34.5 kV medium‑voltage internal distribution network, an elevation substation (SEE), and a switching substation (SEM), both rated at 115 kV. Two short transmission lines are proposed to connect the plant with the National Electric System.
Infrastructure works will include access roads, internal pathways, operations buildings, and a parking area. Of the total site area, approximately 14 hectares will require vegetation removal to accommodate infrastructure development. The remaining area consists of flat agricultural land, with minimal expected impact on shrub vegetation, no surface water bodies, and no planned intervention in protected natural areas. Mitigation measures will be addressed as part of the environmental review process.
This project follows a series of recent solar proposals in Campeche. Ochkaan Solar, a 170 MW solar farm with battery storage, entered evaluation in April. In June, La Esperanza Solar, a 370 MWp plant with battery energy storage (BESS) spanning more than 900 hectares in Escarcega, also entered the environmental assessment process.
