Caintra Nuevo León said 97.9% of about 100 member companies it surveyed reported electricity-supply effects between January and June 2026, according to Milenio and El Horizonte.
Milenio reports that 77% cited interruptions, 55% intermittent service and 35% low voltage. In El Horizonte's breakdown of affected firms by municipality, Monterrey accounted for 41%, Guadalupe 16%, San Nicolás 13% and Apodaca 12%.
Caintra president Jorge Santos Reyna said small businesses have less capacity to respond to or absorb outage costs, El Horizonte reports. Milenio says Caintra did not yet have an estimate of companies' financial losses.
The chamber asked CFE to accelerate committed work: MXN 2,165 million for Nuevo León's distribution grid and MXN 6,719 million for transmission infrastructure that also serves the state. Both reports place the spending in the coming years without a specific completion schedule.
