In this report, we evaluate some of the key drivers of grid parity both regionally and over time. We begin by considering a base-case scenario, which includes a single set of assumptions for financing, technical performance, and several other factors. Grid parity represents a pivotal shift in the energy industry, where renewable energy costs align with or fall below conventional energy prices. As this milestone reshapes energy procurement and market dynamics, businesses must adapt to new opportunities in renewable integration and long-term. Grid parity for photovoltaic (PV) technology is defined as the point where the cost of PV-generated electricity equals the cost of electricity purchased from the grid. In simpler terms, it's when solar energy becomes as affordable, or even cheaper than electricity produced from traditional.

The Mexican government announced in March 2025 a first-of-its-kind measure in the region: all solar and wind power plants must integrate battery systems equivalent to 30% of their installed capacity, with a minimum of three hours of discharge. CRE regulation integrates batteries, intermittency management and grid operation backup through energy storage. 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. While the country boasts immense potential in solar and wind resources, the path to a sustainable and secure energy future is still hampered by a crucial missing element: energy storage. This move, announced by Jorge Islas, Undersecretary for Planning and Energy Transition, aligns Mexico with global efforts. Energy transition initiatives have continued to decelerate in Mexico, as the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) favoured backing state-owned enterprises such as national oil firm Pemex and power utility CFE. The reversal in climate change initiatives has seen Mexico's.
