The director of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), Emilia Esther Calleja Alor, appeared before the Energy Commission of the Chamber of Deputies to detail the company's achievements in 2025, as part of Claudia Sheinbaum's First Government Report. She highlighted subsidies for family tariffs, reduction in electrical interruptions, and infrastructure expansions. The presentation emphasized energy sovereignty and partnerships with the private sector.

During her appearance on October 27, 2025, Emilia Esther Calleja Alor reported that the CFE allocated 84,805 million pesos in 2025 to support family electricity tariffs, representing an average 47% subsidy on bills, varying by zone and season. Although tariff setting is not CFE's attribution, she considers it a public agenda issue due to its impact on household supply.

On reliability, there were 3,247 fewer interruptions, a 7% improvement compared to Manuel Bartlett's last year. Calleja prefers 'service interruptions' over 'blackouts' and highlighted a 12% increase in maintenance activities. During the 2025 summer, the operational reserve margin averaged 14%, higher than 2024's 10.81%; on June 9, it reached 9.69% at peak demand.

Regarding disasters, Hurricane Erick affected 277,000 users in Guerrero and Oaxaca, while Tropical Storm Barry impacted 15,773 in Veracruz and Tamaulipas. The CFE coordinated rapid responses with governments.

Financially, second-quarter 2025 revenues were 340 billion pesos, with net profit of 68,691 million. CFE International met 99.6% of natural gas demand in 2024 and 99.7% in the first half of 2025, generating 119.6 million dollars in revenues.

In infrastructure, plants like CCC Salamanca I in Guanajuato, Villa de Reyes in San Luis Potosí, and Mérida IV in Yucatán came online, adding 1,741.1 MW for 10 million homes. The 2025-2030 Plan foresees adding 22,000 MW publicly and up to 29,000 with privates, reaching 77,000 MW by 2030, with 38% clean energies.

Calleja thanked the constitutional reforms reversing those of 2013, strengthening CFE as a public company. 'We are walking strong, we are responsible and have an indelible commitment to the country's development,' she stated.
