Electricity hookup (CFE)
An electrical feasibility request, a construction or temporary supply, and later the permanent contract (step 4.29). If you add solar, there's an interconnection contract too.
Why it matters
Power for the build and the home.
Who helps
CFE (phone 071). A certified electrical inspector (UVIE) is often needed for the final installation.
Documents
- Land-use approval, alineamiento, ID, the power, and an RFC for the permanent contract (see step 6.8).
Tariffs
most of BCS's hot localities are on subsidized residential tariffs (e.g., 1F, for places with a summer average minimum of 33 °C), with a summer subsidy roughly May–October. If your average use exceeds 2,500 kWh per month on tariff 1F, CFE reclassifies you to the unsubsidized DAC high-consumption tariff, which is much more expensive. That threshold is a key reason owners add solar.
Costs Estimate
- The contract itself is free (guarantee deposit only).
- Line extensions are billed as aportaciones, quoted by CFE. In rural areas the nearest pole must be close enough, otherwise you pay for an extension.
Estimates only. Get written quotes.
Common mistakes
- Buying far from existing lines.
- A direct connection is usually possible only with a CFE pole within about 50 m (inferred). Otherwise request a factibilidad in person or call 071.
Say it in Spanish
- Quisiera solicitar la factibilidad de energía eléctrica para una casa nueva.
I'd like to request electrical feasibility for a new home.
