What industry pays for power, by region

CFE tariff GDMTH, energy charge, pesos per kWh, November 2026, by tariff division: base, intermediate and peak hours

Base hoursIntermediatePeak

Ordered from the cheapest intermediate hour. Baja California runs on its own grid and prices lowest; Baja California Sur, also its own system, highest. The bill adds a fixed charge, a distribution charge and the capacity charge below, all set by division each month. Shown are the divisions serving the 32 state capitals; CFE has others, such as Valle de México Norte, serving other municipalities.
