Green Gravity was backed by HMC Capital, BlueScopeX, New Zealand’s Pacific Channel and SCAP H, a subsidiary of Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation.
What are grid-scale batteries & how can they benefit New Zealand?
Grid-scale batteries maximise the benefits of renewable energy and provide extra resilience during times of tight electricity supply. Additionally, these batteries, alongside more renewable generation, will help off-set the retirement of thermal generation and support New Zealand’s transition to a low-emissions economy.
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.
How will the demand for energy storage continue to grow?
The demand for energy storage will continue to grow strongly in the decades to come – particularly due, in particular, to the following global megatrends in electricity supply: Solar and wind energy will become the dominant sources of power supply for a majority of nations.
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.
