How much energy storage should be provided for wind power in Mexico?
📌

Can solar be used as a wind energy source in Mexico?

Solar deployment can follow wind transmission. Targeted grid upgrades, if any, for wind, will benefit solar as well because solar resources exist in all areas of the country. Solar potential in Mexico is six times larger than wind, and the technology complements wind generation very well.

📌

Why is energy storage important in Mexico?

Renewable energy resources like solar and wind fluctuate, making energy storage systems (ESS) important for balancing supply and demand. In Mexico, which has abundant solar and wind resources, energy storage facilitates the efficient use of generated renewable electricity. It smoothes out the variability and ensures a stable power supply.

📌

Should Mexico be reliant on wind and solar?

In this regard, although it is essential to increase the installed capacity of renewable sources in Mexico and elsewhere, the intermittency of generation represented by wind and solar technologies makes it difficult to be completely reliant on them.

📌

Should energy storage be a priority in Mexico?

If energy storage deployment is considered a priority in the following years, Mexico could accelerate investments through a mix of storage procurement targets and financial incentives. A strong storage market can also be built over time by offering rebates, loans, investment grants, tax credits or other financial incentives.

📌

Should energy storage be regulated in Mexico?

5.2.1. Mexico Energy storage appears scarcely in Mexican legislation and the few regulations that mention it leave the door open to potentially consider EST as either generation assets or transmission and distribution assets . If EST were regulated as generation assets, they could operate under a regime of free competition.

📌

How much solar power does Mexico need in ?

To meet the 35% clean energy target in , Mexico needs at least 128.83 TWh or 42.56 TWh of additional clean energy generation. National solar PV capacity potential is estimated at 24,918 GW.1 This potential capacity could generate 50,196 TWh/yr or 137 times the 365 TWh estimated demand for Mexico in .
