4 FAQs about New Zealand solar Integrated Container BESS
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:
Why does New Zealand need a Bess system?
Delaney noted that the BESS system not only benefits the port and its customers but also supports New Zealand’s broader supply chain, particularly in managing local energy constraints. The BESS initiative is backed by a US$500,000 loan from Ara Ake, an organization dedicated to advancing energy innovation in New Zealand.
Will Bess become a cog in New Zealand's energy landscape?
We expect that BESS will also become an increasingly important cog in New Zealand’s broader energy landscape and that we will see utility-scale solar projects incorporating batteries as a means of providing dispatchable generation during peak demand and enhancing grid stability.
What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?
Over recent years, it has become common for utility-scale solar projects in Australia to include a grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) to provide energy generated by the solar farm to the grid outside of the times when the sun is shining.
