Overview
- The ASI program relaunched on July 14 is now fully operational in eight high-temperature states and processes applications within 24–48 hours
- The financing structure, backed by FIPATERM, adds equipment repayments directly to monthly electricity bills, streamlining costs for low-income households
- Eligible families with at least two years of CFE service, a clean payment history and a subsidized tariff can access refrigerators, washing machines, mini-split AC units, ceiling fans and LED lamps
- Certified ASI appliances consume 30–60% less electricity than conventional models, reducing household bills and easing peak demand in extreme-climate regions
- CFE has signaled continued investment to expand the ASI initiative and launch complementary public-service efforts beyond the initial eight states
