Expected ROI of warehouse solar storage project in Mexico 2030

Should energy storage be regulated in Mexico?

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.

Should energy storage be considered a transmission and distribution asset in Mexico?

In Mexico, defining energy storage as a generation or a transmission and distribution asset is not only critical to establish revenue streams, but also to determine whether EST will be able to operate under a regime of free competition.

How much money does KfW invest in solar-plus-storage projects?

In 2013, the state-owned bank KfW launched programme 275, which offered low-interest loans and investment grants for 30% of the capital costs of solar-plus-storage installations until 2016. In that period, KfW invested around €60 million in almost 19,000 of these projects.

Does a policy study affect energy storage deployment in a jurisdiction?

First, it studies regulations and policies qualitatively, but it does not evaluate the quality, intensity, complexity or degree of implementation of these interventions. Second, it does not establish any strict evidence of causality between specific policies and the rate of energy storage deployment in a jurisdiction.

How can est increase the profitability of wind and solar PV?

For example, EST can increase the profitability of wind and solar PV by avoiding curtailment or by increasing self-consumption . Therefore, it can be expected that stronger energy storage policies will be developed in jurisdictions that anticipate a strong penetration of VRE .

How much money did Germany spend on redox-flow?

Over half of the budget was directed at electrochemical storage, including innovative technologies, such as redox-flow and post-lithium batteries. Germany also spent more than €24 million in hydrogen and fuel cell research, including €2 million specifically directed at hydrogen storage.
