Presently, there is not a strong demand for energy storage in Mexico. However, after the electricity reform and the commencement of operations of the Wholesale Electricity Market has opened up the market to private investments, other electricity trading alternatives may be developed in Mexico.
Mexico Energy storage was first included as part of Mexico's long-term policies in the Transition Strategy to Promote the Use of Cleaner Technologies and Fuels published by SENER in 2016.
These new requirements for the reliability of the Mexican electricity system may force CENACE (the National Centre for the Control of Energy) to launch several auctions to purchase ancillary services that may have a positive impact for electricity storage projects.
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.
To accelerate investments and promote the formation of a storage market, Mexico should introduce technology-push and market-pull policies simultaneously. Procurement targets could be used if policymakers decided that energy storage is a short-term priority, as in the case of the US.
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.
