How much does a Bess project cost in New Zealand?
Construction of the BESS, located south of Whangārei, the northernmost city of New Zealand, began in early and was completed within the project’s original budget of NZ$186 million (US$109 million). It forms stage two of Meridian’s Ruakākā Energy Park development.
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:
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.
What is a Bess battery & how does it work?
A BESS is a number of large batteries that operate together as an energy storage facility, and is a bidirectional user of an energy network - meaning that it is able to ‘take’ energy from the grid (to store), and it can discharge that energy back into the system when required.
