2. EnergyLab Mexico
EnergyLab Mexico LLC (GEL) is a development
company incorporated in 2010 to develop land at
Caborca, Sonora.
The land was chosen because of its location,
solar irradiance, road, water, electric grid and rail
infrastructures, allowing many uses for the site.
The land marked in orange was first optioned in
2010 and by 2011 had also acquired 5ha as part
of the land agreement with the owner.
The land is only 90km to the USA boarder and
due to the railway can access California, Arizona
and Texas, as well as most major Mexico cities.

7. EnergyLab Mexico – Solar – Desalination –
Natural Gas
In 2013 the Mexico government announced reforms in the energy laws and this
meant natural gas pipe lines are now being built along the USA/Mexico boarder
one of which runs through the Caborca land to Hermosillo along the railway. The
rail company Ferromex have said they will allow a new rail spur for loading and of
loading to our site and we can also use their land for water piping.
In 2013 Arizona Government announced it wanted to investigate desalination
water from Mexico and did not have a land development partner in Sonora. GEL
contacted Arizona government and now has been included in a report and we
have been asked to join the Arizona water cluster to promote desalination.
In 2013 GEL decided there was enough evidence for the regional need for a
desalination plant we began a search for a desal partner. Contacts in Jalisco
Government made contact with Hyflux on a visit to Singapore
In 2014 GEL signed an exclusive agreement to work with Solar century to
develop some of the land for solar and seek PPA off-takers for the energy.

SolarCentury .
The plan has always been to develop a PV solar
array on the land to provide energy to partners
using PPAs. Under the new energy reforms it is
legal to sell energy to CFE and 3rd
party’s.
