Luz y Fuerza del Centro Overview
Luz y Fuerza del Centro (LyFC) was indeed a significant public organization responsible for transmitting, distributing, and marketing electrical energy in the central region of Mexico. LFC with more than 45 thousand employees served a population of more than 30 million people, including Mexico City, 80 municipalities in the State of Mexico, two municipalities in Morelos, two in Puebla, and five in Hidalgo. On October 11, 2009, a presidential decree ordered the extinction of LyFC. The electrical operation previously managed by LyFC was transferred to Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE).
Over a eighteen-years trajectory at Luz y Fuerza del Centro, a Government of Mexico company, I ascended from a technical assistant role to Departamental Manager. This accomplishment established me as one of the company’s top 300 executives among a staff of more than 45,000, managing, planning, and evaluating activities across five work centers located in Mexico City and the State of Mexico.
