Will Rankine power supply increase wholesale electricity prices in New Zealand?
Concept Consulting’s modelling shows that without thermal generation from the Rankine units as part of New Zealand’s energy storage solution, wholesale electricity prices would likely be 60% higher in the short-term (the next two-to-three years) and 11% higher in the long-term (ten+ years).
What will New Zealand's energy sector look like in ?
In , New Zealand’s energy sector has a much more diverse set of companies, communities and customers who have taken energy ownership into their own hands. Amongst them are “leaders” who realized earlier in the decade, that they needed to act, and decarbonise to protect their value chain.
Will batteries be a big part of New Zealand's energy ecosystem in ?
Battery technology advancements will also likely be playing a bigger part of our energy ecosystem in . The fact that batteries are lower cost, greater energy density, more recyclable, and part of a circular economy, is a big factor in underpinning their wider use around New Zealand by .
What will New Zealand do in the 2030s?
In the 2030s, with electrification still growing, we need to make sure that people have confidence in the grid. Once our energy system pushes past 90% renewable power generation, there will be a trade-off between certainty and uncertainty. In , we have more diverse renewable power generation and more New Zealanders owning electric vehicles.
Will New Zealand get to 95% renewable by ?
New Zealand’s emission reduction targets are ambitious, but it has to be done. It’s inevitable the electricity sector will get to around 95% renewable by through sheer economics – it is now cheaper to build new renewable generation than continuing to operate existing thermal plant.
Should New Zealand's greener electricity system be treated as a competitive advantage?
In , at 87%, the amount of energy generated by renewable was the highest ever, with hydro power accounting for the majority (60%) of the supply. The Voices believe that New Zealand’s greener electricity system should be treated as a competitive advantage.
