New Zealand''s First Utility Scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Gains Traction WEL Networks and Infratec are pleased to announce that they have entered into major contracts for the supply and build of New Zealand''s largest
The mean charging spot price was $123/MWh and the median was $132/MWh. As New Zealand electrifies, more grid-scale batteries will support the growing renewable energy supply. Meridian Energy is building a 100MW (200MWh) battery near Ruakākā in sunny Northland. This battery is expected to be commissioned in September 2024.
LG’s battery storage systems come with a 10-year warranty. Sizes Available: 6.5, 9.8, 13.1kWh Price Estimate: Approx $9000-$15,000 depending on size, installation extra Hybrid battery models are great for seamlessly integrating a battery into either a new or existing solar panel system.
Overall Costs: The average total price paid for a battery system is $14,396, indicating that energy storage is still a significant investment for many. The lowest price paid was $8,000 for a 6 kWh battery, which implies that smaller systems can be more accessible for those on a budget.
Despite these limitations, here's what the small dataset revealed: Key Insights: Battery Cost Per kWh: The average price per kWh is $1,249.79, which sets a benchmark for assessing battery affordability in the market (since we don’t have much previous data on battery prices in NZ).
Additionally, these batteries, alongside more renewable generation, will help off-set the retirement of thermal generation and support New Zealand’s transition to a low-emissions economy. The first grid-scale battery was commissioned in 2023 by Hamilton lines company WEL Networks.
