Photovoltaic systems: In operation in Baja California

The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) announced that the Solar Roofs program in Mexicali received an investment of US$11 million during its first phase, from March 2025 to May 2026, using funds from the Universal Electricity Service Fund, administered by the Ministry of Energy (SENER).

According to the CFE, each family achieves savings of up to 85% on their electricity bills, which are paid every 30 days in these border municipalities.

The “Solar Roofs for Well-being” program—promoted by SENER, the CFE, and the government of Baja California—aims to improve access to electricity for vulnerable families in the northern part of the country, particularly those facing extreme weather conditions and high energy consumption for much of the year.

It is estimated that the installed systems generate approximately 44,160 MWh of clean energy per year and prevent the emission of 19,486 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, thereby strengthening the energy transition and environmental sustainability, in addition to providing benefits to household finances.

A second phase is scheduled to begin in July 2026 in Hermosillo, Sonora, and in the two municipalities of Baja California, with the interconnection of an additional 5,000 photovoltaic systems.
