expected ROI of backup power battery project in New Zealand 2030

How much will batteries be invested in the Nze scenario?

Investment in batteries in the NZE Scenario reaches USD 800 billion by , up 400% relative to . This doubles the share of batteries in total clean energy investment in seven years. Further investment is required to expand battery manufacturing capacity.

Why did the New Zealand Energy Authority make regulatory changes?

The Authority started making regulatory changes several years ago in preparation for the uptake of new and emerging technologies such as BESSs in New Zealand. 3.2. In , the Authority published its view that a BESS injecting energy into a network met the definition of ‘generating unit’ in the Code.

How much energy storage is needed to Triple renewables?

To facilitate the rapid deployment of new solar PV and wind power that is necessary to triple renewables, global energy storage capacity must increase sixfold to 1 500 GW by . Batteries account for 90% of the increase in storage in the Net Zero Emissions by (NZE) Scenario, rising 14-fold to 1 200 GW by .

Are batteries a key role in energy transitions?

Batteries are set to play a leading role in secure energy transitions. They are critical to achieve commitments made by nearly 200 countries at COP28 in . Their commitments aim to transition away from fossil fuels and by to triple global renewable energy capacity and double the pace of energy efficiency improvements.
