In the short term, a wider assessment, which considers financial and non-financial benefits, is likely to be key to the uptake of community battery initiatives in New Zealand. The report reviewed six community battery trials in various locations across Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
RNZ's Susan Edmunds reports on the Energy Competition Taskforce proposals and says the changes "should lead to New Zealanders with solar power systems on their houses get more of a return for any power they put back into the system".
In New Zealand, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for solar allow businesses and potentially homeowners to benefit from solar power without upfront capital costs. • Some mistakenly believe they lose control of their system. • Those without firsthand experience sometimes see it as risky or misaligned with ownership expectations.
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.
These regulations and standards mean New Zealanders have access to and are encouraged to use well-performing products and technologies, including vehicles for home, commercial and industrial use, saving money and energy. Racing ahead: Australia’s roadmap to bidirectional charging launched - Australian Renewable Energy Agency.
While community batteries have the potential to deliver a range of significant benefits, many (such as greater community resilience and cohesion) are difficult to quantify, assess and monetise. This poses a barrier to their uptake, given that investment cases typically focus on financial returns and commercial viability.
