La secretaria de Gobernación, Rosa Icela Rodríguez y la secretaria de Energía, Luz Elena González, encabezaron está mañana la conferencia del pueblo de este miércoles.

Overview

  • The Plan Estratégico 2025–2030 commits MXN 163.54 billion to build 275 strategic transmission lines—about 6,735 km of circuit—and 524 substations to benefit more than 50 million users.
  • Projects are organized by region: 92 in the North (137 lines, 247 substations), 49 in the Center (90 lines, 181 substations) and 30 in the South (48 lines, 96 substations).
  • CFE will add smart controls, digital transformers, sensors, remote monitoring, drones and fiber optics to reduce losses, decongest critical nodes and improve disaster response.
  • More than 5,000 specialized CFE workers are assigned to maintain, modernize and operate the expanded network through the multi‑year rollout.
  • Authorities emphasized that transmission and distribution remain exclusive state functions under national planning, rejecting private operation to safeguard reliability and social equity.
