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's going on with energy prices in New Zealand?
And then there’s more recent data. An analysis by Octopus Energy shows that between September and January , standard prices from three of the country’s largest power providers ‒ Contact, Meridian, and Mercury ‒ had increased by 5% to 15% in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
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.
Are power costs rising in NZ?
The MBIE says that power costs in NZ have risen by an average of 3% every year since . More interestingly, there was only one instance () when the price dropped instead of rising. And then there’s more recent data.
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.
