East Tijuana Neighborhoods Endure Days-Long Power Outages Since Christmas Eve

Residents report scarce follow-up from CFE’s 071 line.

Overview

  • Colonias in the city’s Zona Este, including Chapultepec Novena Sección, Tres de Octubre and Los Pinos, continue to report unstable or missing service as of Dec. 26–27.
  • Some households say they have been without electricity for more than 52 hours, while nearby blocks experience low voltage or normal service.
  • Neighbors describe concrete hardships such as spoiled food, disrupted cooking and laundry, and difficulties opening homes with electric gates.
  • Because of repeated voltage swings, families are unplugging or limiting use of appliances to avoid potential damage.
  • Residents say multiple outage reports to CFE’s 071 line received little or no follow-up, and there is no confirmed cause or restoration timeline, though some attribute the problems to recent winds.
