Can a battery energy storage system complement a PV plant in Mexico?

An analysis was carried out to verify if it would be commercially feasible to operate a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to complement the operation of a PV plant in the Mexican market. This PV plant would generate a revenue through the contracting via the 2015, 2016 or 2017 LTAs in Mexico.

Can electric energy storage systems be used in Mexico?

Within the scope of the GIZ analysis about the economic condition for the use of Electric Energy Storage Systems (EESS), in Mexico in general, and in the Mexican isolated grid of Baja California Sur in particular, an analysis has been carried out on the potential of these LTA.

Can a battery energy storage system be integrated into an existing PV plant?

The present document introduces the results of a study carried out on the technical and commercial prefeasibility of integrating a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) into an existing PV plant. The PV plant is a 15 MW / 10.5 MW extension of the existing 30 MW Aura Solar 1 PV plant near La

Does Mexico regulate storage?

Mexican legislation, however, neither defines nor regulates Storage. There are few references in the current legislation to the activity, no specific regulatory body oversees its development and there are no stipulations regarding the need to obtain any authorisation from the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE).

How much electricity does Mexico generate from renewable sources?

According to data presented by the Mexican Ministry of Energy in 2020, Mexico had an installed capacity to generate electricity from renewable sources of approximately 31.2 per cent.

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.
