CFE electric zones?

Can't Post | Private Reply

I am researching an article on our CFE bills. I would like to be able to tell folks in which zone they live so they can know their tarifa.

The link on the CFE website that seems to want to supply that info is broken. Does anyone know where I might find this info preferably in map form?

You're right, the CFE links seem to be broken at the moment. I was able to find this copy on the Mexican Senate Web site.

The zone is printed on the electric bills (top portion), but it's interesting to know the zones for other areas of the country, too. That's a nice handy map, thanks!

The main trouble with this map is that it is so OLD. There have definitely a number of important "rezonings" since 2003.

Sorry about that. It was the best I could find. CFE needs to do some maintenance on their Web site.

Pretty common in México. I went to the website for a popular, low-cost local hotel recently and the phone number was from 10 years ago!

Thanks Ken. Very impressive research. I am amazed because it is buried so deep inside that report. How did you ever find it?
I will post a link to my research on the Living, Working Retiring side.

I look on my CFE bill to find my tarifa. Would knowing the zone aid in finding the tarifa?

Thanks Joaquin. The problem is that there seems to be no place to locate the climatic zones which result in the trarifa. As you point out if folks have a CFE bill they do know; I was thinking about people who may not yet have an electric bill.

I'm having a difficult time following this discussion as the reasoning behind it. If you haven't received a CFE bill, at least someone in the neighborhood has or they can go to the nearest CFE office and ask. They would be, at most, two months away from receiving a statement from CFE. If renting or even buying, they could ask the landlord or the seller the rates.

Do people decide to locate to an area based on the tarifa of the electric usage?

Not sure about that Joaquinx. Just trying to supply the type of information I would be interested in. For example if I was moving to a new area I might like to know if air conditioning and a pool is going to be beyond my means. $500 a month is lot to some folks on fixed incomes.

Hi Guys,
The current CFE webpage with their latest official power rates (tarifas) are here:
http://www.cfe.gob.mx/.../Conocetutarifa.aspx

They now describe a < 140 kW-hr monthly set of rates and > 140 kW-hr set of rates, in addition to the 150 kW-hr Verano 1a rates, and Basico, Intermedio, Excedente, & Summa thresholds and rate tiers, and the hot season and cool season tarifas, not to mention the 850 kW-hr per month annual threshold that triggers even higher rates, and also not mentioning the Aporcion Gobernamental subsidy for people using low amounts of power (like us).

Enjoy,
steve

This Mexican Senate map is very inaccurate and misleading, at least in the state of Sonora.

I live in Hermosillo, Sonora, and for the last four years every CFE statement I have received shows me in Tarifa: 1F. Since there is only one black square shown on the map for the entire state of Sonora, I conclude that the black square represents Hermosillo.

Problem is, there is nothing but desert to the immediate west of Hermosillo all the way to the Sea of Cortez, where there is a very small town on the coast, Bahia de Kino. So the pink square and the yellow square, slightly to the north and west of Hermosillo are figments of some senatorial imagination.

I find it very strange that there is only one black square in the state, representing only one 1F tarifa zone in the entire state of Sonora, while most of the state, with the exception of towns in the sierra, is hotter than the hinges of hell. I don't think there are any towns anywhere in Sonora that are so temperate as to deserve a pink, or red, or yellow designation.
