Mexico’s environment ministry announced on Friday that it has denied a major environmental permission for a solar power project proposed by German automaker Audi in the central Mexican state of Puebla.
Audi’s proposed environmental impact statement for the photovoltaic power plant, which was sent to officials in late May, was denied because it requires a regional analysis given the additional electrical infrastructure that will be required, according to a brief statement from the Ministry of Environment.
“From the start, these projects necessitate the construction of a power plant, an electric substation, and internal transmission lines,” it stated.
The ministry also stated that any new environmental impact statement for the solar facility submitted by Audi will be evaluated.
Audi Mexico did not respond to a request for comment right away.
