Monterrey solar Wind Power Storage Base in Mexico

4 FAQs about Monterrey solar Wind Power Storage Base in Mexico

Is solar PV a viable energy source in Mexico?

Solar PV was successful in both, securing 1,691 MW of the 2,085 MW auctioned in the first and 1573 MW of 3473 MW in the second auction. In 2013, 22% of the installed electricity generation capacity in Mexico was from renewable sources. The majority, 18.1% coming from hydroelectricity, 2.5% from wind power and 0.1% from solar PV.

Can solar be used as a wind energy source in Mexico?

Solar deployment can follow wind transmission. Targeted grid upgrades, if any, for wind, will benefit solar as well because solar resources exist in all areas of the country. Solar potential in Mexico is six times larger than wind, and the technology complements wind generation very well.
