New CFE Substation in Cancún’s Polígono Sur to Be Ready in December

Cancún, Quintana Roo — A new Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) substation in Cancún’s Polígono Sur district will be completed in December, Benito Juárez Mayor Ana Paty Peralta de la Peña announced.

The mayor gave the timeline after a working meeting with Héctor Pérez, the CFE superintendent in Cancún. She said the project is part of a package of electrical infrastructure works designed to expand the city’s power supply capacity as it continues to grow.

Second Substation Due in February 2027

A second substation, located in the northern Cielo Nuevo area, is scheduled for completion in February 2027, Peralta de la Peña said.

The mayor said Cancún’s growth has driven up demand for electricity, making it necessary to strengthen CFE infrastructure and increase load capacity.

Pole Replacements and Grid Upgrades

The program also calls for replacing more than 500 utility poles at various points across the city. Peralta de la Peña announced preventive tree-trimming work by specialized crews sent to Cancún as reinforcements.

Crews are also replacing distribution transformers, surge arresters, cutouts and insulators, she said.

She highlighted 22 electrification projects in the El Milagro, Cárdenas and México neighborhoods, backed by an investment of 22 million pesos.

Peralta de la Peña said her administration will maintain coordination with the CFE to address the infrastructure needs created by Cancún’s growth.
