Infratec general manager Nick Bibby said that the storage system is “the first of its scale to be built in New Zealand”. As reported by Energy-Storage.news, the two companies completed their assessment of the project in late 2021, selecting a site in Huntly, a town in the Waikato District.
Solving that intermittency issue is a fantastic opportunity for those developing or investing into firming technologies such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). A BESS captures, stores and discharges electricity.
We welcome the opportunity to respond to the Electricity Authority (Authority)'s paper on a regulatory roadmap for battery energy storage systems (BESS). BESS will be key in the delivery of a least cost and secure transition in Aotearoa New Zealand, particularly because BESS creates greater demand-side and supply-side flexibility.
The Electricity Authority (EA) has released its regulatory roadmap for battery energy storage systems. It is clear that the EA recognises the value of BESS and will continue to enhance the regulatory environment to enable BESS to operate competitively and efficiently as part of the New Zealand's energy mix.
