CFE maintains continuous monitoring of winter storm Fern

The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) continues monitoring winter storm 'Fern' to ensure power supply across Mexico. On January 24, 2026, outages in Chihuahua and Durango caused by the weather event were restored. The next day, energy demand was reported at stable levels with a wide reserve margin.

The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) has activated monitoring measures in response to winter storm 'Fern', affecting northern regions of Mexico. The Emergency Response Steering Group, led by Director General Emilia Calleja Alor, remains in permanent session, following instructions from President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and in coordination with the Secretariat of Energy.

On Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 19:30 hours, the CFE reported that electricity service is operating normally across the country. Interruptions occurred in the municipalities of Balleza and Guadalupe y Calvo in Chihuahua, as well as Guanaceví and Tamazula in Durango, caused by the weather phenomenon. These outages were fully restored. Additionally, Minera San Julián regained its power supply after a tree fall caused the disruption.

The following day, Sunday, January 25, at 11:00 hours, during the steering group session, environmental conditions and the status of the National Interconnected System (SIN) were reviewed. Electricity demand stood at 30,758 MW, with an operational reserve margin of 60.08 percent, equivalent to 18,479 MW of available capacity to address demand increases or contingencies.

The CFE reaffirms its commitment to the public for an efficient and continuous energy supply. Updates on any relevant events will be provided promptly, in line with presidential directives.
