In 2025, you''re looking at an average cost of about $152 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for lithium-ion battery packs, which represents a 7% increase since 2021. Energy storage systems (ESS) for four-hour durations exceed $300/kWh, marking the
In New Zealand electricity was first generated within factories for internal use. The first generation plant where power was transmitted to a remote location was established at Bullendale in Otago
Yet our understanding of the land requirements of utility-scale PV plants is outdated and depends in large part on a study published nearly a decadeago,whiletheutility
We expect that BESS will also become an increasingly important cogin New Zealand''s broader energy landscape and that we will see utility-scale solar projects incorporating batteries as a

The energy storage project is expected to come online during the July-to-September period of 2026. Saft described the Huntly Power Station as "the single largest
The Interactive Levelised Cost of Electricity Comparison Tool ranks the projects from lowest to highest LCOE and the resulting curve is a simplified representation of the long-run marginal electricity generation costs in New Zealand.
Christchurch, by comparison, enjoys rates 23% lower than Auckland's North Shore, with average annual bills of $2,213 (comparison of electricity costs). The region's electricity demand reached peak levels of 5,260 MW during winter 2025, putting significant pressure on grid infrastructure.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
The region's electricity demand reached peak levels of 5,260 MW during winter 2025, putting significant pressure on grid infrastructure. Auckland imports 24 GWh weekly through the HVDC link, making it vulnerable to North Island generation fluctuations.
For context, Kerikeri residents face the highest national rates at $3,222 per year, while Westport households pay approximately $3,221 annually. Christchurch, by comparison, enjoys rates 23% lower than Auckland's North Shore, with average annual bills of $2,213 (comparison of electricity costs).
Overall we conclude that utility-scale solar uptake may be muted if electricity prices fall in real terms in a low cost of capital environment, but if they remain stable or increase, utility-scale solar uptake could be very high. A similar conclusion is made for distribution connected solar, discussed in the next section.
