CFE Schedules Localized Power Suspensions in Morelos and Hidalgo

The utility says the preannounced outages will allow technical and preventive maintenance to strengthen the local grid.

Overview

  • The CFE confirmed a scheduled interruption in Huitzilac, Morelos affecting named neighborhoods for about five and a half hours on June 11 between 10:00 and 15:30 to carry out maintenance on the network.
  • CFE issued a separate comunicado for an eight-hour suspension in six localities of Huautla, Hidalgo from 11:00 to 19:00 on June 12 to perform preventive and strengthening works.
  • Officials emphasized these are targeted, planned interventions and not a nationwide blackout, and said power will be restored gradually once crews finish the work.
  • Local authorities urged residents to take precautions such as charging phones, unplugging sensitive electronics, conserving refrigeration and reporting any service not restored after the announced window via CFE channels or the 071 line.
  • The outages drew heightened attention after the June 11 interruption coincided with the World Cup opening and spurred social-media claims of a 'massive blackout,' a description CFE and local outlets corrected as inaccurate.
