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. Mexico has for the first time brought battery energy storage systems (BESS) within the scope of its mandatory Social Impact Assessment framework, following the publication by the. . According to the Power Sector Development Plan 2025–2039, Mexico will add 19,954 MW of renewable energy and 5,000 MW of energy storage by 2030. For the first time, storage is no longer a regulatory afterthought. That upgrade carries opportunity – new revenue streams, improved resiliency, tariff arbitrage – and new obligations, including permits. . On 7 March 2025, the Official Journal of the Federation published the final agreement of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) that establishes the administrative provisions for the orderly and efficient integration of storage systems into the National Electricity System (SEN).
