Recognizing this, in March 2025, Mexico´s government announced a mandate requiring all new solar and wind power plants to include storage systems equivalent to 30% of their capacity, with the goal of adding 574MW of batteries by 2028.What is Mexico energy storage?Mexico Energy storage was first included as part of Mexico's long-term policies in the Transition Strategy to Promote the Use of Cleaner Technologies and Fuels published by SENER in 2016.
Will Mexico colocate battery energy storage systems?Future wind and solar energy projects in Mexico will be required to colocate battery energy storage systems equivalent to 30% of their capacity, a senior government official told the Senate on Tuesday.
How can Mexico promote energy storage?To accelerate investments and promote the formation of a storage market, Mexico should introduce technology-push and market-pull policies simultaneously. Procurement targets could be used if policymakers decided that energy storage is a short-term priority, as in the case of the US.
Should energy storage be regulated in Mexico?5.2.1. Mexico Energy storage appears scarcely in Mexican legislation and the few regulations that mention it leave the door open to potentially consider EST as either generation assets or transmission and distribution assets . If EST were regulated as generation assets, they could operate under a regime of free competition.
Does Mexico have a 30% energy storage mandate?A month after India introduced an energy storage mandate for renewable energy plants and China scrapped its own, Mexico has stepped forward with an ambitious 30% capacity requirement, alongside plans to add a further 574 MW of batteries by 2028.
