Mexico's CFE Unveils Major Energy‑Efficiency Program and 200 bn MXN Transmission Investment

The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is rolling out a five‑year Energy Efficiency Programme (2025‑2030) that targets thermal efficiency of generation plants, cuts transmission and distribution losses, and promotes energy‑saving technologies. By mid‑2026 the agency had completed diagnostics at the Cuautla wastewater‑treatment plant, delivered 14 technical visits and planned 11 more to industrial sites, and implemented training and awareness actions.

President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a complementary investment of more than 200 billion pesos to expand and modernise transmission lines nationwide, with the southeast, especially Quintana Roo, identified as a priority. The funding aims to lower service interruptions during peak summer demand and improve reliability for millions of households.
