Mexico's state-owned electric utility Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) is preparing new reinforcements for the power system of the Yucatan Peninsula, a region that has experienced blackouts and supply cuts, as reported on 2026-09-01. ^[1] The National Meteorological Service (SMN) forecast on September 3 that Mérida, Yucatán, would reach a maximum temperature of 40.0°C. ^[2] The Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) filed a legal complaint after identifying signs of deliberate damage to its infrastructure. ^[3] A blackout affected municipalities in the Yucatan Peninsula for nearly seven hours before power was restored. ^[4] A report cited by the article (El Informe) states that CFE acquired four aeroderivative generation units with a combined capacity of 100 megawatts, which still need to be installed at high-demand points. ^[5] The National Meteorological Service (SMN) and the General Water Commission (CONAGUA) advised residents to drink plenty of water, avoid sun exposure between 11:00 and 16:00, and wear light clothing to prevent heatstroke. ^[6] The National Meteorological Service (SMN) predicted that the Yucatan Peninsula region, including Cancún and Chetumal, would experience clear skies and light winds with a low probability of rain on September 3. ^[7] The CFE identified specific indicators suggesting the damage to the infrastructure was intentional rather than accidental. ^[8] Governor Joaquín Díaz Mena stated that the blackout was reported by the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) from Chiapas, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán. ^[9] Governor Joaquín Díaz Mena urged the federal government to invest more in the electrical system for the region. ^[10] The governor emphasized the need to invest in improving obsolete transmission and distribution lines. ^[11]
