Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has clarified that recent power interruptions across the country are distribution failures rather than systemic blackouts. According to official statements, the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is currently working to resolve these localized technical issues to restore stable service to affected areas.
Why the government rejects the term “blackouts”
President Sheinbaum has explicitly rejected claims that Mexico is experiencing blackouts, characterizing the energy interruptions as “distribution failures” instead. According to local media reports, the administration distinguishes these events from systemic grid collapses, framing them as specific faults within the distribution network rather than a total failure of power generation.
How the CFE is addressing the interruptions
The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is actively managing the outages to stabilize the network. During a recent “La Mañanera” press briefing, Emilia Esther Calleja Alor provided updates on the CFE’s response to the instability. According to public statements, the commission is currently implementing solutions to fix the distribution faults and prevent further service disruptions.
