Technical FAQs 4

How will a new battery energy storage system benefit New Zealand?

New battery energy storage system (BESS) will discharge energy at a split second to significantly improve security of energy supply to New Zealanders. The 100-megawatt (MW) battery to provide enough electricity at peak demand to power the equivalent of 44,000 homes.

Is New Zealand's first large-scale grid battery storage system complete?

Construction of New Zealand’s first large-scale grid battery storage system is now complete, with Meridian Energy’s Ruakākā Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) being officially opened in a ceremony later today.

Will a 200 MWh solar-plus-storage project be approved?

The planned 200 MWh solar-plus-storage project in Glorit, near Auckland on the North Island, has been granted resource consent and a notice of requirement by an independent panel after being referred to the government’s fast-track approvals process.

Why is energy storage important in New Zealand?

Beyond energy storage, the system will provide critical voltage and frequency control, ensuring that the grid remains resilient and capable of handling fluctuations in power supply. This kind of grid support is essential as New Zealand moves away from fossil fuel reliance and integrates more renewable energy sources into its infrastructure.
