MEXICO: Blackouts cause concern
Mexico’s national electricity system (SEN) has been struggling to generate enough energy to meet demand. A combination of operational flaws and climatic factors led to power outages in multiple states on 7 May, with the national grid operator (Cenace) declaring a state of emergency the same day and emitting states of alert in the days following. The blackouts have sparked concerns around the national grid’s capacity to meet growing demand and scepticism over President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s nationalist energy policies.
