Mérida Faces 11-Hour Planned Power Cut for City Center Modernization Today

Officials published a map of impacted neighborhoods with guidance for residents.

Overview

  • Power will be shut off from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, with notices cautioning that restoration could be gradual and may reach into Friday.
  • The interruption stems from CFE maneuvers to modernize the City Center roundabout coordinated with Yucatán’s public works authorities.
  • The official map lists San Ramón Norte, Benito Juárez Norte, Santa Gertrudis Copó, Residencial Cocoyoles, Punta Lago, City Center, La Isla, Temozón Norte and Santa Rita Cholul as affected areas.
  • Authorities urge residents to disconnect appliances, keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed, prepare flashlights and batteries, and notify for priority attention if someone depends on electric medical equipment.
  • Businesses, shopping centers and nearby housing developments are expected to face service disruption, and residents voiced frustration given a major regional outage reported in late September.
