Recently, the Mexican Ministry of Energy announced a new regulation mandating that all newly built wind and solar PV projects must be equipped with energy storage systems accounting for at least 30% of their capacity, with a minimum storage duration of three hours. Mexico has for the first time brought battery energy storage systems (BESS) within the scope of its mandatory Social Impact Assessment framework, following the publication by the. . According to the Power Sector Development Plan 2025–2039, Mexico will add 19,954 MW of renewable energy and 5,000 MW of energy storage by 2030. For the first time, storage is no longer a regulatory afterthought. That upgrade carries opportunity – new revenue streams, improved resiliency, tariff arbitrage – and new obligations, including permits. . On 7 March 2025, the Official Journal of the Federation published the final agreement of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) that establishes the administrative provisions for the orderly and efficient integration of storage systems into the National Electricity System (SEN).

The report provides detailed information on the current state of Cuba's electricity sector and recommends reforms to advance the transition to a lower emission, reliable, and more climate resilient system. . Today, the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law and Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) jointly published a new report titled Building a Cleaner, More Resilient Energy System in Cuba: Opportunities and Challenges. The purpose of this series is to provide up-to-date analyses of Cuban politics. . Beryl missed Cuba but brought back memories of Ian in 2022, a tropical storm that also rapidly strengthened into a massive hurricane in very little time, causing damage across the region. In September 2025, the island's national grid collapsed once again, leaving the country in darkness for hours. Cuba has been remarkably successful at revitalising its energy sector over the last two decades, significantly increasing efficiency and reducing ener y intensity and emissions. Aging oil-fired power plants, chronic blackouts, and restricted access to fuel—tightened by United States sanctions—have pushed the island's electricity. .
