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. From pv magazine LatAm The Mexican authorities have reported a growing number of PV projects submitted for approval. . Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have gained momentum in Mexico, with both the federal government and private companies ramping up plans to install several gigawatts of capacity over the coming years. This move, announced by Jorge Islas, Undersecretary for Planning and Energy Transition, aligns Mexico with global efforts. . CRE regulation integrates batteries, intermittency management and grid operation backup through energy storage. Electric energy storage has become a crucial component in the transition to more sustainable, reliable and efficient energy systems.
Typical CAES project costs range between $800/kW to $1,500/kW depending on scale and configuration – significantly lower than lithium-ion battery systems for long-duration storage. . DOE's Energy Storage Grand Challenge supports detailed cost and performance analysis for a variety of energy storage technologies to accelerate their development and deployment The U. Compressed Air Storage. . To accurately reflect the changing cost of new electric power generators in the Annual Energy Outlook 2025 (AEO2025), EIA commissioned Sargent & Lundy (S&L) to evaluate the overnight capital cost and performance characteristics for 19 electric generator types. It supports the integration of renewable energy, grid stability, and efficient large-scale storage for industrial and utility systems.
