4 January 2007 -- Telvent GIT S.A. has signed a contract for almost one million euros with the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) of Mexico to upgrade the Peñitas hydroelectric power plant, located in the State of Chiapas.

Telvent will supply and install a control system for four electric generating units with a total rating of 420 MW that supply the states of Tabasco, Chiapas and Campeche. The company will also provide its Hycos (Hydraulic Control Open System) technology that will manage the generation of hydroelectric energy at the plant.

According to Telvent's chairman and chief executive, Manuel Sanchez Ortega, "Telvent's upgrading of the Peñitas Power Plant data acquisition and control system will ensure uninterrupted operation of the facilities, safety of the plant personnel, and continuity of electric energy generation."

The Peñitas plant is part of the river Grijalva complex, where four dams have been constructed: Belisario Dominguez (La Angostura); Manuel Moreno Torres (Chicoasen); Nezahualcoyotl (Malpaso); and Angel Albino Corzo (Peñitas). The electricity generated in Chiapas represents about one half of the hydroelectric energy produced in Mexico.
