We expect that BESS will also become an increasingly important cog in New Zealand’s broader energy landscape and that we will see utility-scale solar projects incorporating batteries as a means of providing dispatchable generation during peak demand and enhancing grid stability.
The uptake of BESS in New Zealand is particularly important given that it can help to solve one of New Zealand’s biggest energy challenges – meeting peak demand. In recent years, there have been ongoing concerns as to the reliability of New Zealand’s energy supply following blackouts in 2021.
How containerised BESS costs change over time. Grid connection costs. Balance of Plant (BOP) costs. Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. And the time taken for projects to progress from construction to commercial operations. Other variables add costs to projects.
To unlock the full potential of BESS, New Zealand should explore innovative commercial models that deliver value to multiple stakeholders. This report models real-world scenarios to show where BESS can be commercially deployed and identifies key barriers to adoption.
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
There are two key direct revenue streams for a standalone BESS project: energy arbitrage and ancillary services. Energy arbitrage involves purchasing electricity to charge the batteries when wholesale prices are low and supplying that energy back to the grid when wholesale prices are higher.
