Understanding the Impact of CFE 2025 Rates on Mexican Households
The upcoming CFE 2025 rates are expected to bring significant changes to electricity costs in Mexico. With a substantial increase anticipated, households must prepare for the potential financial burden. The rates, which will be implemented in January, will affect various aspects of energy consumption, making it essential for consumers to understand the implications.
Factors Influencing CFE 2025 Rates
The Federal Energy Commission will determine the final rates based on several factors, including operating costs, energy production expenses, and inflation. While the exact rates are uncertain, it is likely that they will increase throughout the year. The commission will announce any changes as they occur.
CFE 2025 Rates: A Breakdown
The CFE 2025 rates will be categorized into different tariffs, each with its own set of costs and consumption limits. The rates will be reclassified as DAC (Domestic High Consumption) when the high consumption limit is exceeded. This reclassification can result in significantly higher prices per kWh.
Rate 1: Domestic Use
Rate 1 is expected to have the following costs by June 2025:
- Basic consumption: 1,083 pesos per kWh for the first 75 kWh
- Intermediate consumption: 1,315 pesos per kWh for the next 125 kWh
- Surplus consumption: 3,847 pesos per kWh after 200 kWh
Rate 1A: Domestic Use with High Temperature
Rate 1A is expected to have the following costs by August 2025:
- Basic consumption: 1,091 pesos per kWh for the first 75 kWh
- Intermediate consumption: 1,325 pesos per kWh for the next 125 kWh
- Surplus consumption: 3,875 pesos per kWh after 200 kWh
Rate 1B: Domestic Use with Higher Temperature
Rate 1B is expected to have the following costs by October 2025:
- Basic consumption: 1,099 pesos per kWh for the first 75 kWh
- Intermediate consumption: 1,335 pesos per kWh for the next 125 kWh
- Surplus consumption: 3,903 pesos per kWh after 200 kWh
Rate 1C: Domestic Use with High Minimum Temperature
Rate 1C is expected to have the following costs by September 2025:
- Basic consumption: 1,095 pesos per kWh for the first 75 kWh
- Intermediate consumption: 1,330 pesos per kWh for the next 125 kWh
- Surplus consumption: 3,889 pesos per kWh after 200 kWh
Rate 1D: Domestic Use with Higher Minimum Temperature
Rate 1D is expected to have the following costs by December 2025:
- Basic consumption: 1,103 pesos per kWh for the first 75 kWh
- Intermediate consumption: 1,340 pesos per kWh for the next 125 kWh
- Surplus consumption: 3,917 pesos per kWh after 200 kWh
Rate 1E: Domestic Use with High Minimum Temperature
Rate 1E is expected to have the following costs by December 2025:
- Basic consumption: 1,107 pesos per kWh for the first 75 kWh
- Intermediate consumption: 1,345 pesos per kWh for the next 125 kWh
- Surplus consumption: 3,932 pesos per kWh after 200 kWh
Rate 1F: Domestic Use with Higher Minimum Temperature
Rate 1F is expected to have the following costs by December 2025:
- Basic consumption: 1,107 pesos per kWh for the first 75 kWh
- Intermediate consumption: 1,345 pesos per kWh for the next 125 kWh
- Surplus consumption: 3,932 pesos per kWh after 200 kWh
DAC 2025 Rate: High Consumption
When a household exceeds the high consumption limit, their rate will be reclassified as DAC, resulting in significantly higher prices per kWh. This can lead to substantial increases in electricity bills, potentially exceeding 10,000 pesos.
Electricity Subsidies for 2025
The state of Tabasco has allocated 400 million pesos for electricity subsidies in 2025. However, it is essential to note that these subsidies may not be available to all households.
Most Expensive Electricity Bills in 2025
The most expensive electricity bills are expected to occur in January, due to high consumption during the Christmas season, and in the summer months, when air conditioner usage increases.
It is crucial for households to stay informed about the CFE 2025 rates and their potential impact on electricity bills. By understanding the rates and consumption limits, households can take steps to reduce their energy consumption and mitigate the financial burden of the rate increases.
