According to the regulations promulgated in March 2025, all new solar and wind power projects must be equipped with battery systems equivalent to 30% of their installed capacity, with a minimum
The Mexican government announced in March 2025 a first-of-its-kind measure in the region: all solar and wind power plants must integrate battery systems equivalent to 30% of their installed capacity,
Mexico has taken a bold step in reshaping its renewable energy sector by mandating that all new wind and solar projects include battery storage equal to 30% of their capacity.
Thanks to the country''s geographical conditions, Mexico has great potential for solar and wind energy, which makes it an ideal candidate for the implementation of energy storage systems to help manage
Recognizing this, in March 2025, Mexico´s government announced a mandate requiring all new solar and wind power plants to include storage systems equivalent to 30% of their capacity, with the goal of adding 574MW
Recently, the Mexican Ministry of Energy announced a new regulation mandating that all newly built wind and solar PV projects must be equipped with energy storage systems accounting for at least 30%
Mexico''s own planning documents acknowledge the scale of the challenge ahead, pointing to the need for approximately 8–9GW of energy storage capacity by the mid-2030s to support higher levels of renewable
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.
Mexico''s new regulation mandating battery systems for solar and wind projects positions it as a model for energy storage integration in Latin America, according to a new report.
