Overview

  • The SIAPA Tariff Commission approved increases ranging from 44 percent to more than 200 percent for 2026 on June 6, including elimination of low-usage subsidies and a fixed rate of 28.74 pesos per cubic meter.
  • Governor Pablo Lemus Navarro denounced the proposed hikes as excessive on July 23 and filed legal action to nullify the commission’s decision.
  • Legislators from Morena, Futuro, Hagamos and Movimiento Ciudadano have vowed to vote against the increases when the state Congress reviews the proposal.
  • Tonalá Mayor Sergio Chávez Dávalos called SIAPA’s operation a “disaster” and pledged to reject the tariff increase at the municipal council level.
  • Critics are demanding legal reforms to restructure the Tariff Commission with genuine citizen representation and technical oversight before any future rate adjustments.
