       MEXICO CITY, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Mexican state power
utility CFE has signed an agreement with French energy company
Engie to develop terms and requirements to expand the Mayakan
gas pipeline in the Yucatan Peninsula, CFE said in a statement
Monday.
    Representatives for the two parties met on Nov. 23, CFE
said.
    The Mayakan pipeline spans some 800 km (497 mi) and counts
CFE among its key clients, according to Engie's website. 
        The pipeline can currently supply up to six CFE plants,
the state utility said, however as two new plants come online
and gas demand grows in the region, "the need to develop
additional gas transportation infrastructure becomes
imperative."
  
        Engie Mexico did not immediately respond to a request
for comment.
