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% of their capacity, with a minimum storage duration of three hours. [pdf]
Scheduled for commissioning in July 2025 for a project located in the state of Querétaro, the systems are projected to deliver annual energy savings of over $100,000 through advanced peak-valley arbitrage and demand charge optimization, while also cutting carbon emissions by 420 metric tons. [pdf]

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 [pdf]
A month after India introduced an energy storage mandate for renewable energy plants and China scrapped its own, Mexico has stepped forward with an ambitious 30% capacity requirement, alongside plans to add a further 574 MW of batteries by 2028. [pdf]
