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 .
Will Infratec build a new energy storage system in New Zealand?
Infratec general manager Nick Bibby said that the storage system is “the first of its scale to be built in New Zealand”. As reported by Energy-Storage.news, the two companies completed their assessment of the project in late , selecting a site in Huntly, a town in the Waikato District.
Where does New Zealand's energy come from?
According to official statistics, about 40% of New Zealand’s primary energy comes from renewable sources including geothermal and hydroelectric, which is the third highest among members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, after Norway and Iceland. That equates to about 82% renewables for electricity generation.
Why does New Zealand need 'flexible' energy?
has largely displaced thermal generation assets from baseload duty. As with other electricity markets around the world, the use of renewables means the market faces great exposure to climatic conditions – the amount of rain, wind, and sunshine in particular locations – and therefore New Zealand requires significant amounts of ‘flexible’
What can New Zealand do to improve energy resilience?
WEL Networks and Infratec said they are actively pursuing other opportunities to enhance resilience and increase access to renewable energy in the region. New Zealand currently has a couple of 1MW battery storage systems in operation, but certainly nothing on the scale of the BESS in Huntly.
Is a 35mw/35mwh storage system being built in New Zealand?
The two companies said last Friday (20 October) that their 35MW/35MWh project, in the Waikato region of New Zealand’s Upper North Island, has entered the commissioning phase. Infratec general manager Nick Bibby said that the storage system is “the first of its scale to be built in New Zealand”.
