How will battery storage impact the energy system in Mexico?

As Mexico establishes itself as a regional renewable energy hub, we expect battery storage to become an essential means for enhancing the flexibility of its grid system to provide more versatile energy delivery across the country.

Does Mexico have onsite solar with energy storage?

Contact us to learn more about onsite solar with energy storage in Mexico. As Mexico establishes itself as a regional renewable energy hub, we expect battery storage to become an essential means for enhancing the flexibility of its grid system.

Does battery storage provide services to the Mexican electric grid?

While battery storage does not currently provide services to the Mexican electric grid, and while several operational and regulatory challenges still need to be overcome, there is considerable potential for battery storage to offer valuable economic and reliability services going forward.

Does Mexico regulate storage?

Mexican legislation, however, neither defines nor regulates Storage. There are few references in the current legislation to the activity, no specific regulatory body oversees its development and there are no stipulations regarding the need to obtain any authorisation from the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE).

Why is battery storage important?

It can store excess renewable generation, provide stability and services to the grid, and quickly provide power when and where it is needed most. Cost reductions in battery technologies in the last decade, along with expected future reductions, are improving the economics of storage technologies.

Can photovoltaic energy be stored in Mexico?

In this regard, experts estimate that the technology already exists in Mexico to store up to 1.5 megawatts of energy, which allows users of all sizes and in all types of interconnections, including the wholesale electricity market and large industry, to access photovoltaic generation without interruption.
