CFE reports reduced outages and outlines massive grid expansion plans

CFE electrical grid expansion power outages clean energy investment Mexico energy policy

Emilia Calleja Alor, Director General of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), testified before the Chamber of Deputies regarding the state of Mexico's electrical system. She reported a 36 percent reduction in power interruptions between January and August compared to 2024, noting that the average time to restore service has decreased from 25 to seven hours.

Despite these improvements, legislators from various parties raised concerns about persistent outages in regions such as San Luis Potosí, Nuevo León, and Coahuila. In Saltillo, officials noted that electrical failures have directly impacted water well operations.

To address growing demand, CFE is preparing 245 transmission and transformation works under its 2026–2030 Expansion Plan. These 32 projects represent an investment of approximately 35,904 million pesos. Additionally, the company aims to incorporate 22 gigawatts of new clean energy capacity through a model that allows private sector participation, while CFE maintains at least a 54 percent stake in these partnerships.
