- The GenCell REX units aim to provide weather-resilient, zero-emission backup power to CFE's critical infrastructure, enhancing resilience and automation.
- The project includes the deployment of AI-driven energy management software for centralized monitoring and management, aligning with green energy goals.
- GenCell's partnership with CFE signifies a step towards clean, reliable energy sources and supports the transition to a net-zero future in alignment with sustainability goals.
GenCell Energy has announced a major project with Mexico's state-owned utility, Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), to deploy GenCell REX™ hydrogen-fueled backup power units across the country. This follows a significant order received by GenCell's partner in Mexico, reinforcing CFE's confidence in GenCell's solutions. The project, set to be completed by 2025, aims to provide weather-resilient, zero-emission long-duration backup power to CFE's substations, enhancing their resilience and automation capabilities. GenCell's system is designed to meet strict cybersecurity and regulatory requirements, ensuring 24–48-hour backup power availability. The deployment includes AI-driven energy management software for centralized monitoring and management of the backup power units. CEO Rami Reshef expressed pride in the partnership with CFE, highlighting the project's contribution to CFE's distribution network resilience and transition towards clean energy sources. GenCell's innovative technologies support CFE in advancing towards net-zero standards and grid hardening, aligning with their vision for a clean energy future. The project serves as a model for other utilities in North America seeking to fortify their systems with sustainable, failsafe backup power solutions.
