Power outages strike Cancun and Chocholá in Mexico

On Tuesday 21 July 2026, residents of Cancun reported electricity cuts across several zones of the city, according to social‑media posts shared by TV Azteca Quintana Roo. Authorities had not issued an official statement confirming the cause of the outage.

In the community of Chocholá, Yucatán, a recent robbery that included stealing copper cables and high‑voltage transformers left part of the municipality without power for more than 24 hours, disrupting local businesses. Residents have asked municipal president Obet Martín Alcocer for increased patrols and a quicker response to the rising wave of thefts.
