Project finance is a powerful fundraising and corporate development structure for companies that are commercializing industrial and energy technologies. Upon completion, project finance
Investigate options for dry-year electricity storage through the New Zealand Battery Project. Options include pumped-hydro storage, demand-side response, bioenergy, geothermal energy, hydrogen and other technologies.
In addition to GIDI-backed projects, this includes investigating options to manage the dry-year risk through the New Zealand Battery Project (to displace backup fossil generation), a proposed
The NZ Battery Project was set up in 2020 to explore possible renewable energy storage solutions for when our hydro lakes run low for long periods. A pumped hydro scheme at Lake Onslow was one of the options
Global Investment in Renewable Energy (USD Billion) Investments in storage solutions, grid Interconnectivities and CSP, considered to have greater priorities recently. It is expected that
The Energy Storage Association (ESA) has an energy storage vision ''''of 100 GW by 2030'''' and that goal is right on schedule, even with the economic downturn and global pandemic. The growth is primarily comprised of large grid-connected
Financing options for commercial and industrial energy storage projects are varied and designed to cater to different business needs. Here are some key options:
While lenders may need to undertake additional diligence before financing an energy storage project, the project finance market for energy storage has grown, and is expected to continue to grow, alongside the rapid expansion
The Bioenergy Options for New Zealand project was initiated to consider the potential contribution of bioenergy to New Zealand''s energy future. The Bioenergy Options work is a part of the
Build new generation or storage assets, recognising that renewables could be an expensive option, but the investment case for new gas turbines is currently difficult.
The Government is developing the New Zealand Energy Strategy to support the transition to a low emissions economy, address strategic challenges in the energy sector, and
For example, Renewable Energy Systems has 90 MW of standalone batteries in operation and more than 55 MW under construction, including two 55 MW projects in the UK that provide

Investigate options for dry-year electricity storage through the New Zealand Battery Project. Options include pumped-hydro storage, demand-side response, bioenergy, geothermal energy, hydrogen and other technologies. Phase one, examining option feasibility, is expected to be complete by the end of 2022.
ensure the energy system remains affordable, secure and reliable as we transition. The Government will develop strategies to achieve its vision for a net-zero economy in 2050, where energy is accessible and affordable, secure and reliable, and supports New Zealanders’ wellbeing.
The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects. Since the majority of solar projects currently under construction include a storage system, lenders in the project finance markets are willing to finance the construction and cashflows of an energy storage project.
2.7 Ongoing work by the Authority’s Market Development Advisory Group (MDAG) has highlighted that New Zealand will be at the ‘bleeding edge’ of transitioning to a 100% renewable electricity system within the context of a deregulated electricity market6.
Implement the NZ$220 million State Sector Decarbonisation Fund (component relating to energy and industry) to reduce state sector emissions. The fund increases energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy in the state sector. It focuses on replacing the largest, most-used fossil-fuel boilers with low-emissions alternatives.
This, combined with increased and as yet uneven carbon prices, places pressure on New Zealand’s energy intensive industrial sector. Under Waka our government, mandated by business and consumers to reduce our carbon footprint, takes a greater role in the allocation of capital in the economy.
