4 FAQs about New Zealand Energy Storage Live

Is Genesis Energy building a battery energy storage system in New Zealand?

Genesis Energy, a publicly traded energy generation, wholesale, and retail company in New Zealand, has officially begun the construction of a 100MW/200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) on the North Island.

What is the NZ battery project?

The NZ Battery Project was set up in 2020 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 2023.

How much does a battery cost in New Zealand?

The mean charging spot price was $123/MWh and the median was $132/MWh. As New Zealand electrifies, more grid-scale batteries will support the growing renewable energy supply. Meridian Energy is building a 100MW (200MWh) battery near Ruakākā in sunny Northland. This battery is expected to be commissioned in September 2024.

Is New Zealand building more renewable electricity?

New Zealand is building more renewable electricity generation. However, renewable generation (like wind and solar) vary with the weather, so renewable electricity supply may not match up with demand. Grid scale batteries soak up excess renewable electricity, and then release it back to the grid when needed.
