The report explains that Mexican regulations define five storage modalities -linked to renewable energy plants, load centers, and independent solutions – and formally recognize these systems through interconnection rights, permits, and participation in energy and ancillary. . The report explains that Mexican regulations define five storage modalities -linked to renewable energy plants, load centers, and independent solutions – and formally recognize these systems through interconnection rights, permits, and participation in energy and ancillary. . Without robust storage systems, the grid remains vulnerable to imbalances, inefficiencies, and widespread outages. The challenge has been underscored by extreme weather patterns. In May 2024, Mexico experienced one of the most intense heatwaves on record. The national electricity demand surged past. . The new rule requires solar and wind power plants to include battery systems with a capacity equivalent to 30% of their installed power, aiming to add 574 MW of storage by 2028. Mexico is featured in the White Paper on Energy Storage in Latin America and the Caribbean, published by the Latin. . Edilso Reguera, a researcher at the Center for Research in Applied Science and Advanced Technology (Cicata) of Mexico's public National Polytechnic Institute, displays an X-ray diffractometer used to study the structure of materials for electric batteries designed to store and recharge energy. . Eighty-seven years after the oil expropriation of 1938, another turning point in Mexico's energy history took place on March 18, 2025, when President Claudia Sheinbaum signed sweeping legislative reforms into law that will restructure the country's electricity sector to strengthen energy security. . Mexico's ambitious clean energy goals and rapidly expanding renewable energy capacity (primarily solar and wind) necessitate energy storage to address intermittency and grid stability challenges. Advancements in battery technology, particularly lithium-ion batteries, are leading to significant cost. . As Mexico's energy sector adapts to changes aimed at diversifying its energy mix and enhancing grid reliability, energy storage is a key component of the energy transition. In an environment where renewable energy procurement and energy efficiency are top priorities, understanding the role of. .
