Mexico can unlock the full potential of energy storage solutions by fostering greater integration of renewable energy, supporting grid stability, and improving regulations related to battery storage.
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.
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.
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.
The roadmap suggests developing regulations and promoting research, development and demonstration (RD&D) projects, but these proposals have not yet been adopted as a formal policy guideline. Nevertheless, Mexico is expected to start energy storage RD&D projects in the next years.
President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo has already announced a national energy plan focused on driving renewables investment, expanding electromobility, and modernizing ageing grid infrastructure with the aim of Mexico generating 54% of its electricity from renewables, up from 12.1% today.
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.
