Introduction Battery energy storage presents a USD 24 billion investment opportunity in the United States and Canada through 2025. More than half of US states have adopted renewable energy
In 2024, during New Zealand''s winter months, there was both a gas supply shortage and low inflows into hydro storage lakes, resulting in pressures on the levels of residual generation reserves and on wholesale prices.
Concept Consulting''s modelling shows that without thermal generation from the Rankine units as part of New Zealand''s energy storage solution, wholesale electricity prices would likely be 60%
Energy use in New Zealand This report presents information about the energy consumption patterns in Aotearoa New Zealand, with analyses by fuel type and energy-consuming sector.

Overview This report presents comprehensive information on, and analysis of, New Zealand''s energy supply and demand for the 2023 calendar year.
New Zealand''s renewable energy supply increased on 2023 levels, with strong growth in geothermal, solar, and wind energy. The renewable share of total primary energy supply
A recent study on distributed battery energy storage systems in New Zealand shows that if such systems are appropriately configured, they can respond faster than current providers of instantaneous reserve, recovering frequency faster and stabilising the system with fewer oscillations (Transpower, 2019a). 49.8 Hz and 50.2 Hz.
The choice of fuel used for storage is critical for security, price stability and environmental impact. There is value in New Zealand having diversity for its storage solutions, as seen by the impact of the lack of gas in Winter 2024. Working with every facet of the energy industry, to help clients respond to business issues and trends.
Off the back of its experience in Winter 2024, Genesis asked KPMG and Concept Consulting to assess the future requirement for Huntly assets to support New Zealand’s energy security over the short, medium, and long term. Key takeaways from this report:
