Battery

As New Zealand continues to electrify and move to more renewable energy generation, our power system needs added flexibility and resilience. Grid-scale batteries play a critical role in unlocking the full value of renewable energy.

Batteries store electricity from largely renewable energy sources when demand is low and deliver it back to the energy system when demand is high. This enables wind, solar, hydro and geothermal to work together more effectively. Batteries reduce reliance on fossil-fuel (thermal) generation, helping meet the demands of a more electrified future.
