Is Your CFE Bill a Penalty or a Price?
In Baja California Sur, CFE utilizes the “DAC” high-consumption tier as a tax on your comfort. Once you cross the threshold, your energy cost surcharges by 400%. We engineer the permanent exit strategy.
The DAC Tier Trap
Most luxury estates in Cabo San Lucas and La Paz operate in the Doméstico de Alto Consumo (DAC) tier. Because you cross a specific bimonthly threshold (~500kWh in some zones), CFE removes all government subsidies from your account.
This is why your bill doesn’t just “increase” as you use more AC—it explodes. You are paying for the most expensive electricity in the Western Hemisphere to maintain your villa’s lifestyle.
$35,400 MXN
Your Penalty Proximity
Baja homeowners who use more than 8.5kWh per day (average) are at immediate risk of the DAC surcharge.

DAC Penalty Tier
If your bill is over $5,000 MXN, you are already paying a penalty.
1. Technical Bill Audit
We analyze your RPU (Service Number) to identify exactly when and why you hit the DAC threshold. We determine your “Baseload” vs. your “Lifestyle Surge” to size your exit system accurately.
2. Net-Metering Architecture
Using N-Type Bifacial arrays, we ensure your production offsets your peak-tier usage. We manage the full CFE “Trámite” for your Bidirectional Meter so the utility starts paying you back.
3. Permanent Asset Lock
Once your exit strategy is implemented, your energy costs are locked at the base minimum connection fee for 25 years. You are effectively “immune” to CFE’s annual 9% utility inflation.
