Batteries and Efficiency: The Future of Wind Energy in Mexico
Role of Batteries in Wind Farms 1. Energy Storage: Batteries play a crucial role in storing excess energy generated during periods of high wind, enabling dispatch during times of peak
Renewable energy resources like solar and wind fluctuate, making energy storage systems (ESS) important for balancing supply and demand. In Mexico, which has abundant solar and wind resources, energy storage facilitates the efficient use of generated renewable electricity. It smoothes out the variability and ensures a stable power supply.
Mexico can unlock the full potential of energy storage solutions by fostering greater integration of renewable energy, supporting grid stability, and improving regulations related to battery 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.
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.
