(Major Power Outage in Mexico)….It covered most of northern Baja California.

At around 3:45 Monday afternoon, the power went out in all of Tijuana and parts of Ensenada, Rosarito and Tecate. About 22 percent of the power customers were in the dark. Power was restored by Tuesday morning. Ironically, power never went out in Mexicali. Especially since officials say the cause of the outage was the failure of two generators in Mexicali. The failures forced the Federal Electricity Commission to order power be cut to the areas affected. Once the generators were repaired, power was restored.
