French conglomerate Alstom said Thursday it signed a 30-million-euro ($41-billion) contract with Mexican state-run electricity utility CFE to build a geothermal plant in the central state of Puebla.

The "Los Humeros III - Phase A" plant, which is expected to begin operating in the second quarter of 2016, will have an installed capacity of 25 MWe and produce an average of more than 200 GWh per year of renewable energy, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 40,000 people, Alstom said in a press release.

The Alstom-designed project includes the construction, set-up and operation of the plant, which will use heat obtained by drilling steam-extraction wells at a depth of up to 3,500 meters (11,475 feet).
