Historically, the main applications of solar energy technologies in Mexico have been for non-electric system applications for, water heating and drying crops. As in most countries, wind power development preceded solar power initially, due to the lower installation cost. Since solar power is not available during the night, and because wind power tends to be complementary to solar, a mix of both can be expected. Both require substantial to compensate for days with no wind an.

This report provides a high-level summary of the role that battery storage technologies can play in Mexico's transition toward higher penetrations of variable renewable energy generation. . 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. . 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. In Mexico, this concept has taken on greater relevance. .
