A 200 MWh solar plus storage farm planned for Glorit near Auckland, on the north island of New Zealand, has been granted resource consent and a notice of requirement by an independent panel. The decision allows the solar farm and battery energy storage system (BESS) for the Glorit Solar Farm to proceed, with more than 100 conditions in place.
Leading this approach is the 2020 installation of New Zealand's first floating solar array at the Rosedale wastewater treatment plant in Auckland. This project demonstrates how New Zealand could double the country's power supply without requiring additional land. It serves as a test for future deployments on other reservoirs and dams.
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.
Analysis - Wastewater ponds may seem an unlikely place to look for solutions to New Zealand's electricity security crisis. But their under-utilised surfaces could help tackle two problems at once - high power prices and algal growth. Floating solar panels on wastewater ponds offer a multifaceted answer.
