Electric storage in Mexico: challenges and progress
Thanks to the country''s geographical conditions, Mexico has great potential for solar and wind energy, which makes it an ideal candidate for the implementation of energy
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).
To integrate energy storage effectively into the Mexican energy mix, industry must lead the way in promoting links between academia, itself, government, and wider society to promote viable, scalable solutions.
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.
With Mexico's president-elect having announced an intent to attract renewables investment, energy storage was the subject of much discussion at the Intersolar Mexico trade show.
