Do the batteries at your plant need a CNE permit?

No, as long as the energy is used only at your plant, without injecting it into or selling it to the grid. The energy storage provisions of the CNE, Mexico’s National Energy Commission (DOF, April 16, 2026), treat that system as part of your facilities.

What do the 2026 provisions say?

A BESS (battery energy storage system) associated with your load center is treated as part of your facilities. It does not require a storage permit, as long as the energy is used only at your plant, without injecting it into or selling it to the grid.

What is required?

  • The technical study with CENACE (Mexico’s grid operator) for the modification of your load center.
  • Compliance with the Grid Code, NOM-001-SEDE-2012 and the technical standards the provisions require.

Which standards does ENEGRIN’s system meet?

The system we install is certified to IEC 62619 and IEC 62933-5-2, standards listed in those provisions.

Who handles the filings?

ENEGRIN handles them as part of the project.
