Overview
- The federal government and the Comisión Federal de Electricidad announced on Wednesday a funded multi‑year program that commits MXN 21,377 million and more than 45,000 electrification works to raise national coverage from about 99.85% to 99.99% by 2028.
- Officials say the plan targets 8,247 localities that currently lack service and includes 1,520 specific works for pueblos originarios expected to benefit roughly 39,000 people.
- Implementation will use a mix of conventional line extensions, isolated microgrids and individual photovoltaic systems so communities more than five kilometers from the grid can receive power.
- CFE says the scale of works planned under this administration will more than triple the projects done between 2006 and 2018, reflecting the 2024 reform’s new framing of electricity access as a right.
- Government officials warn the final fraction of unelectrified settlements is the most complex because populations are small, dispersed and dynamic, and the effort could raise local demand and require parallel investments in generation and distribution.
