Mexico - World Nuclear Performance Report
Mexico has two operable nuclear reactors located on the east coast of the country, 300 km east of the capital, Mexico City. Laguna Verde 1 began commercial operation in 1990 and unit 2 in 1995.
In July 2020 the Mexico energy ministry approved a 30-year extension of the operating licence for Laguna Verde 1. This would allow the reactor to operate until 2050. In August 2022 Laguna Verde 2 was granted an extension to its operating licence, to April 2055.
In May 2025 Nissan Mexicana signed a two-year contract with the Federal Electricity Commission of Mexico to obtain 90% of the electricity required for its three manufacturing plants from Laguna Verde.
