Technical FAQs 4

Can battery technology save energy in New Zealand?

transferring and using energy. In New Zealand, our hydro lakes store energy on a large scale. However, until now we have had limited options to store electricity cost-effecti ely close to where it is used.Around the world, battery technology now offers opportunities to store electricity economica

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.

How much money has been invested in battery technology in New Zealand?

At that time, we invested more than $2 million to understand how battery technologies can play a part in the future of New Zealand’s electricity ecosystem. How much power will the BESS project at Whakamaru generate? It will have a total installed capacity of between 200-300MW.
