Panorama of energy storage in Mexico
While utility-scale storage has seen limited implementation in Mexico, notable projects, like the
solar plant in La Paz
, underscore the growth potential. However, the absence of a defined regulatory framework presents a key challenge. Enterprises in the industrial sector are capitalizing on "time shifting" services, optimizing electricity costs by purchasing at base rates for use during peak hours. Small-scale applications thrive in stand-alone PV systems within the residential market, while data centers embrace energy storage for crucial backup functions. The imminent rise of electric vehicles in Mexico is steering attention toward electric chargers for electromobility, presenting a burgeoning market for forward-thinking companies. As the renewable energy trajectory continues upward, forecasts predict demand for 2.3 gigawatts of storage within the next decade. The National Electric System Development Program (PRODESEN) anticipates installing approximately 4,505 megawatts in energy storage systems from 2022 to 2036.
Lithium-Ion Battery Revolution
Following the 2022 mining law reform,
LitioMx
emerged as a pivotal force, overseeing lithium exploration and commercialization within Mexico. This initiative could boost national manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries, a critical component in meeting the surging demand from the electric mobility sector.
Research and Innovation Hub
Mexico's scientific community dedicated to energy storage is thriving, with an exponential increase in research groups since the
inaugural
Energy Storage Discussions in 2014 until the latest
Discussions
in 2023. The
Energy Storage Network
, established in 2017 and content partner of the ees Mexico, acts as a catalyst for innovation, fostering expertise in lithium purification, active materials synthesis, and comprehensive modeling and testing.
