CFE electricity service management in Mexico

Overview

The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) has managed various electricity service disruptions across different Mexican regions.

In late August 2026, the CFE announced scheduled power outages in Coahuila and Hidalgo to facilitate preventive maintenance, infrastructure improvements, and cable replacements. These planned interruptions were intended to last several hours in specific municipalities.

By September 2026, the focus shifted to a dispute in Chihuahua, where the CFE had suspended power to several agricultural wells in the LeBarón colony due to unpaid debts. This suspension triggered protests and road blockades by local producers. Following dialogue regarding the outstanding debts, the CFE reconnected power to five wells, temporarily resolving the conflict with the local agricultural community.
