Overview
- CFE confirmed a seven‑hour outage in Centla, Tabasco on Saturday, August 1 from 10:00 to 17:00 that will stop local potable‑water plants and interrupt water service in affected communities.
- A multi‑day maintenance program is set for Sonora from August 3–5 that includes replacing 21 medium‑voltage structures, pruning about 150 trees, correcting grounding systems and installing surge‑protection banks.
- Later municipal notices and some media outlets reported specific eight‑hour windows of 08:00–16:00 for August 3 and 4 in the Sierra Alta municipalities, though initial CFE bulletins did not list exact hours.
- CFE frames the works as preventive measures to stabilize voltage and avert unplanned failures and says they form part of wider 2026 investments that include FSUE funding and projects such as a new circuit to Ures and regulator replacements.
- Local authorities and CFE urged residents to prepare by storing water, charging devices, disconnecting sensitive appliances and reporting issues through 071 or the CFE Contigo app as public information channels remain active.
