Can home energy storage reduce energy costs?
New research analyses solar generation and demand data across regions under various price pathways, including the role of home energy storage. Residential rooftop solar PV provides a means for consumers to lower their electricity costs, particularly if they choose to move more of their household energy consumption to electricity.
How does the government calculate residential electricity cost per unit?
The Ministry collects the total value of sales, the total volume of electricity sold, and the number of connections. The residential electricity cost per unit is derived by dividing the dollar value of residential electricity sales by the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) sold to residential customers.
Is solar PV a viable option for New Zealand households?
This is the first study in New Zealand to use detailed and high-quality data for both solar supply and residential demand. It shows solar PV is likely to be financially viable for a significant proportion of New Zealand households, particularly for those who consume a lot of energy.
Where is the best place to buy solar energy in New Zealand?
Prices are highest in Queenstown, followed by Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington, while the solar resource is best in Queenstown, followed, as with prices, by Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington.
Where does residential cost data come from?
Residential cost data is derived from information obtained primarily from electricity retailers. The Ministry collects the total value of sales, the total volume of electricity sold, and the number of connections.
Which clusters have the highest energy consumption in New Zealand?
The following can be seen from these: Queenstown’s return is highest in most clusters, followed by Christchurch, Auckland, and Wellington. This diference is most pronounced with the higher annual consumption 12,000 kWh pa load.
We use sales-based data to monitor average residential, commercial and industrial electricity costs — essentially total electricity sales divided by the quantity of
The QSDEP is an average price series based on certain assumption, which complements the sales-based electricity cost data. The QSDEP indicator: 1. monitors tariffs
View data for household sales-based electricity cost and publicly advertised retail electricity tariffs (Quarterly Survey of Domestic Electricity Prices).
The average prices are quoted for a modelled consumer using around 22 kWh per day ( kWh of electricity per year) with a typical metering configuration in cents per kWh (c/kWh). An average regional price across all retailers is published, weighted by market share. The line charge figures
This interactive map shows the average monthly household power use, charges and bills by region in New Zealand. We developed this dashboard to provide price transparency, understanding of price increases and to encourage New Zealanders to get more engaged in choosing their power plan and provider.
This graph shows the average modelled reduction in demand from solar PV, including exports, during peak periods (7-11am and 5-9pm) by month of the year for households in Christchurch with typical demand profiles (assuming a 10 kW-ac PV system and 10 kWh battery). Note that time-of-use buyback
The quarterly average cost paid varies throughout the year with household electricity consumption. This is largely because of fixed daily charges. When households use more units of electricity (e.g. in winter), the fixed cost is spread across a larger number of units. Because of this, the average
