PVTIME – In collaboration with HDF Energy, Mexico’s CFE has launched a tender for the Oasis integrated energy project in Baja California Sur. The off-grid microgrid development is designed to deliver stable power supplies to local communities.
It incorporates 72MW of DC solar photovoltaic capacity alongside a 20MW/80MWh battery energy storage system. It will also feature a 20MW electrolyser and supporting fuel cell infrastructure. This setup allows any excess solar energy to be converted into green hydrogen for use during periods of low sunlight.
Once completed, the facility will supply around 40,000 households. It is estimated that annual carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 94,000 tonnes, reducing the region’s reliance on fossil fuel-based power generation. This procurement exercise is a significant milestone in the testing of integrated renewable hydrogen solutions for remote power applications across Mexico.
