What is the NZ battery project?
The NZ Battery Project was set up in to explore possible renewable energy storage solutions for when our hydro lakes run low for long periods. A pumped hydro scheme at Lake Onslow was one of the options being explored. The Government stopped the Lake Onslow investigations in late .
What is the EA's regulatory roadmap for battery energy storage systems?
The Electricity Authority (EA) has released its regulatory roadmap for battery energy storage systems. It is clear that the EA recognises the value of BESS and will continue to enhance the regulatory environment to enable BESS to operate competitively and efficiently as part of the New Zealand’s energy mix.
Are battery energy storage systems a good idea?
There are benefits both at the large ‘grid scale’ end of town and for consumers using an EV or a small battery to manage their household electricity use. The Electricity Authority (EA) has released its regulatory roadmap for battery energy storage systems.
Why is New Zealand transitioning to intermittent and variable generation?
New Zealand is transitioning most of its remaining fossil-fuelled generation to renewables-based intermittent and variable generation. Having a greater proportion of intermittent and variable generation creates challenges for how the power system operates, including the reliability and security of electricity supply.
Starting July 1, , a $2.3 billion subsidy program will provide at least a 30% discount on home battery installations, with larger rebates for higher-capacity systems up to 50 kWh. This initiative aims to enhance the benefits of rooftop solar power and support grid resilience.Dentons in New Zealand
