6 FAQs about [New Zealand batteries for pv systems]

Where is New Zealand's first big battery being built?

New Zealand’s first big battery is scheduled for construction in Ruakaka, on the country’s North Island, about 150 kilometers north of Auckland. The battery system is the first stage of a project that will go on to include a co-located 130 MW solar farm.

Which large-scale battery energy storage systems are coming to New Zealand?

As a result, worldwide as well as in New Zealand, more and more large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are announcing their arrivals. Let’s take a look at a few examples: 1. WEL Networks + Infratec: 35 MW BESS

How much does a battery cost in New Zealand?

The mean charging spot price was $123/MWh and the median was $132/MWh. As New Zealand electrifies, more grid-scale batteries will support the growing renewable energy supply. Meridian Energy is building a 100MW (200MWh) battery near Ruakākā in sunny Northland. This battery is expected to be commissioned in September 2024.

What are grid-scale batteries & how can they benefit New Zealand?

Grid-scale batteries maximise the benefits of renewable energy and provide extra resilience during times of tight electricity supply. Additionally, these batteries, alongside more renewable generation, will help off-set the retirement of thermal generation and support New Zealand’s transition to a low-emissions economy.

Is New Zealand building more renewable electricity?

New Zealand is building more renewable electricity generation. However, renewable generation (like wind and solar) vary with the weather, so renewable electricity supply may not match up with demand. Grid scale batteries soak up excess renewable electricity, and then release it back to the grid when needed.

Will Marsden Point be New Zealand's largest grid-scale battery farm?

It is somewhat poetic that the land in question is situated near the Marsden Point oil refinery. The renewable energy park is expected to go online by mid-2023, and will likely be New Zealand’s largest-ever grid-scale battery farm.
