4 FAQs about New zealand auckland energy storage capacitor project

Will New Zealand invest in battery energy storage systems?

The Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko has published a draft two-year roadmap that sets out our work to support investment in battery energy storage systems (BESS). BESS will become increasingly important in the future as New Zealand’s power system relies on more intermittent and variable generation. Work set out in the roadmap includes:

Does EKU energy have a battery storage project in New Zealand?

Eku Energy has bought a major battery energy storage project in New Zealand’s North Island to build out its storage assets. Eku Energy has acquired a 300 MW battery energy storage project in New Zealand’s Waikato region, marking its entry into the country.

What is the first Renewable Project in New Zealand?

01 JUL 2024 Contact’s first renewable project in Auckland to start immediately. Tesla selected as battery energy storage system supplier, the first Megapack 2 XL project in New Zealand. The battery system will discharge stored energy at a split second to significantly improve security of energy supply to New Zealanders.

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.
