**The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) provided key data on financial indicators and development plans for the energy sector.** According to CFE President Manuel Bartlett, the reserve margin increased from 10.81% in 2024 to 13.71% in 2025. These indicators were validated by the first report of the Mexican government, which approved the increase in the state-owned companies' role in the electricity sector after the cancellation of the constitutional reforms promoted by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, which affected the state-owned companies Pemex and CFE.
In addition, Bartlett stated that CFE's income for 2025 will reach 340 million pesos, which is associated with the recovery of electricity generation and transmission services. He also noted that the company's reserves are sufficient to guarantee supply during peak demand periods. "In the coming years, we expect a period of very high load growth, and we have secured a reserve margin of 14%," he added.
**The energy development plans for 2025-2030 include the addition of 22,000 MW through 51 government projects.** This will increase the installed capacity from 54,823 MW to up to 77,000 MW by 2030. The key projects include the launch of new combined cycle plants, modernization of existing hydroelectric plants, and the construction of two new thermal plants in the Sur region with an investment of 800 million dollars. These projects cover the expansion of the electricity grid and the telecommunications infrastructure, while the telecommunications sector already has 1,380 high towers and over 7,600 km of fiber optic network for the rapid expansion of telephone and internet services.
CFE International's revenue for the first half of 2025 amounted to 119.6 million dollars, while the company's net income was 68,691 million pesos. The increase in CFE's revenue was due to its new contract with the media-training company for 1.4 million pesos. This occurred in the period when the regions were disconnected from the electricity grid, and CFE's claims were ineffective.
"We are now establishing a state-owned company, ensuring safety, stability, and reliability of supply," said Bartlett, without specifying the criticism. He noted that his word coincided with the publication in "El Financiero", which criticized the use of public funds. "We do not agree with the president's criticism. This is a matter of public policy," Bartlett concluded.
