Where is New Zealand's first grid-connected battery energy storage system located?
Meridian Energy has completed construction of New Zealand’s first large-scale grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) at Ruakākā, with an official opening ceremony scheduled for later today.
Why should New Zealand invest in grid-scale batteries?
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. The first grid-scale battery was commissioned in by Hamilton lines company WEL Networks.
Who is delivering a Bess system in NZ?
Saft, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, is delivering this system, and Meridian anticipates that the BESS will generate annual revenues of up to NZ$59.3 million. Transpower, a state-owned transmission company, is noted to have played a key role in planning, construction and commissioning.
