Mexico Distributed Energy Market

Mexico Distributed Energy Market Overview:

The Mexico distributed energy market size reached USD 3.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 8.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.10% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by rising electricity costs, government incentives for renewables, and declining solar and storage prices. Businesses and households are adopting distributed energy to enhance energy security and reduce costs. Favorable regulations, grid instability, and natural gas infrastructure expansion further enhance growth. Industrial demand for efficient cogeneration systems also accelerates market expansion.

Mexico Distributed Energy Market Trends:

Increasing Adoption of Solar Energy Solutions

The declining technology costs and favorable regulatory policies are majorly driving the Mexico distributed energy market growth. The Mexican government has introduced incentives such as net metering and tax exemptions for renewable energy projects, encouraging businesses and households to invest in rooftop solar panels. Additionally, rising electricity prices from traditional utilities are pushing consumers toward decentralized solar solutions to reduce costs. In 2024, 25% of Mexico’s electricity was generated from low-carbon sources, lagging the global average of 41%. Solar energy made up 8% of the country’s top clean-energy source. Twenty years of growth in power demand (+56%) has not been matched by an increase in clean energy generation, leading to higher emissions. With a goal of achieving 33% renewable energy by 2030, Mexico's solar industry plays a vital role in bridging the gap towards meeting global energy objectives. Commercial and industrial sectors are leading this trend, leveraging solar power to enhance energy security and sustainability. As battery storage technology becomes more affordable, solar-plus-storage systems are gaining traction, enabling users to store excess energy and improve grid independence. This trend is further expanding the Mexico distributed energy market share.

Growth of Distributed Natural Gas and Cogeneration Systems

Another emerging trend in this market is the rising demand for natural gas-based distributed generation and cogeneration systems. Natural gas is increasingly favored due to its cost efficiency, lower emissions compared to oil or coal, and Mexico’s expanding pipeline infrastructure. Industries such as manufacturing, hospitality, and healthcare are adopting combined heat and power (CHP) systems to improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. The Mexican Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) has streamlined permitting processes, further accelerating project deployments. Notably, Mexico is accelerating efforts in 2025 to expand its natural gas storage capacity amid worries of gas imports from the U.S. The plan aims to boost reserves from just over two days to at least five days of national consumption, using various storage methods with costs potentially reaching USD 2.58 Billion. Additionally, private energy developers are investing in small-scale natural gas plants to provide reliable power in regions with grid instability. With the government promoting cleaner energy alternatives, distributed natural gas solutions are creating a positive Mexico distributed energy market outlook. This trend aligns with global shifts toward hybrid energy systems that integrate renewables with flexible gas-powered generation.
