As international companies and domestic participants recognize the potential return on investment, we anticipate significant growth in energy storage projects, research, and
Mexico must set a legal definition of energy storage and clear market regulations. As a late mover, Mexico can select projects with less technological uncertainty. Procurement targets accelerate the formation of a storage market in the short term. Financial incentives are necessary to accelerate investment in energy storage.
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.
To integrate energy storage effectively into the Mexican energy mix, industry must lead the way in promoting links between academia, itself, government, and wider society to promote viable, scalable solutions.
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.
In Mexico, defining energy storage as a generation or a transmission and distribution asset is not only critical to establish revenue streams, but also to determine whether EST will be able to operate under a regime of free competition.
The rewards would be huge as it has been estimated Mexico will require 2.3 GW of new energy storage projects through 2034, to avoid grid distortion.
