Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding electricity prices in Mexico
Mexico's residential power comes almost entirely from the state utility CFE, with tariffs heavily subsidized for ordinary households. Users who exceed a monthly consumption threshold lose the subsidy and move onto the costly DAC high-consumption tariff.
Hot regions receive a higher summer subsidy allowance for air conditioning. Because of the subsidy structure, the marginal cost of going over your limit is steep even though base rates are low.
How to lower your electricity bill in Mexico
Track your usage to stay under the DAC threshold, because crossing it sharply raises your rate. Efficient inverter air conditioning and rooftop solar with net metering both help high-consumption homes avoid the DAC penalty.
At roughly $0.07 USD per kWh, electricity in Mexico sits below the global average of about $0.17 USD/kWh, with renewables supplying 30% of generation. A typical household bill runs around MX$600 per year.
