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.
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.

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.
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).
According to data presented by the Mexican Ministry of Energy in 2020, Mexico had an installed capacity to generate electricity from renewable sources of approximately 31.2 per cent.
