6 FAQs about [Successful bid price of BESS project in New Zealand 2030]
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.
When is the first Bess project commissioned in New Zealand?
Whilst amendments were first made to New Zealand's Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 (the Code) in 2018 to facilitate grid-scale BESS, the first significant (35MW) BESS project was not commissioned until March 2024.
Why is Bess important in New Zealand?
The uptake of BESS in New Zealand is particularly important given that it can help to solve one of New Zealand’s biggest energy challenges – meeting peak demand. In recent years, there have been ongoing concerns as to the reliability of New Zealand’s energy supply following blackouts in 2021.
How does a Bess project make money?
There are two key direct revenue streams for a standalone BESS project: energy arbitrage and ancillary services. Energy arbitrage involves purchasing electricity to charge the batteries when wholesale prices are low and supplying that energy back to the grid when wholesale prices are higher.
