translated from Spanish: There will be blackouts for 3 more days; the most affected Chihuahua and Tamaulipas

The Federal Electricity Commission reported that until Wednesday morning, 89,183 users continue without power in the north of the country, following last Monday’s blackout.
These people are located in the states of Chihuahua and Tamaulipas, and account for 0.2% of total CFE users nationwide.
According to the CFE, Monday’s blackout affected 4.8 million users in Nuevo León, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, Zacatecas and Durango.

The CFE detailed that at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, the charge shot by the National Energy Control Center (Cenace) to stabilize the National Electricity System knocked out 5.9 million users in 23 states of the country, representing less than 8% of total users in those states.
Load shots were random and rotating until 23:30 hours and users were not affected for long periods.
For his part, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador noted that they anticipate that the service will be restored in its entirety on Thursday, Friday or the weekend.
“It’s all going to depend on the state of time, that we can run more alternate power plants,” he said.
Pemex sells combustoleo to THE CFE
On the other hand, President López Obrador reported that Pemex is selling combustóleo to the Federal Electricity Commission to generate energy and solve the problem in the north of the country, in the face of the lack of natural gas.
In his morning lecture, he detailed that for a week it was agreed to sell the combustoleo to CFE at a low price in order to put alternating power plants to work.
The representative noted that the combustoleum is moving from the Tula refinery to the Lázaro Cárdenas plant.

In addition, he said, at least three boats with liquefied gas have been purchased to put more plants to work.
“We are running plants that do not require gas, fuel plants, coal-fired plants, to deal with the emergency and a whole plan is underway so that people do not run out of electricity permanently but that there are only temporary 30-minute periodic blackouts,” he said.
He stressed that plants from alternate sources allowed from the first day of blackout to generate 75% of the energy that was lost.
He assured that the supply of natural gas from the United States is not a retaliation by the US government, but rather of the emergency situation going through extreme temperatures.
He insisted that dependence on US natural gas is the fault of previous presidents who decided to import it rather than generate it for its low price in the neighboring country.
He noted that Mexico has the ability to generate natural gas as well as other fuels for power generation.
