Aurora sees solar, wind and BESS surge in Mexico''s power mix
Aurora Energy forecasts Mexico will add 18GW in solar, wind and battery storage by 2030, driven by falling costs and growing electricity demand.
This region has been of historical importance for wind projects in the country since the first wind farm in Mexico was installed in locations [33, 34, 35]. The North of the country also possesses a high potential for wind energy projects.
Renewable energy resources like solar and wind fluctuate, making energy storage systems (ESS) important for balancing supply and demand. In Mexico, which has abundant solar and wind resources, energy storage facilitates the efficient use of generated renewable electricity. It smoothes out the variability and ensures a stable power supply.
This study presents a critical review of resource assessment and the technical viability of harnessing offshore and onshore wind energy for electricity generation in Mexico, contributing to the advancement of renewable energy research and national decarbonization efforts.
According to the Mexican Wind Energy Association, Mexico was predicted to progress to rank twentieth worldwide in wind capacity by the end of 2012, and to produce four percent of the country's total electricity production.
