Mexico's new binding power plan mandates a massive state-led clean energy buildout, using 5 GW of battery storage to stabilize the grid. This move, announced by Jorge Islas, Undersecretary for Planning and Energy Transition, aligns Mexico with global efforts. . The new rule requires solar and wind power plants to include battery systems with a capacity equivalent to 30% of their installed power, aiming to add 574 MW of storage by 2028. Electric energy storage has become a crucial component in the transition to more sustainable, reliable and efficient energy systems. In Mexico, this concept has taken on greater relevance. . The report explains that Mexican regulations define five storage modalities -linked to renewable energy plants, load centers, and independent solutions – and formally recognize these systems through interconnection rights, permits, and participation in energy and ancillary services markets.
