The MCA identifies the Portfolio option as narrowly ahead of Lake Onslow as the option that best meets the competing objectives of the NZ Battery Project. The Portfolio option has a range of positive elements that make it an attractive option in theory.
A longlist of 28 different technology options was identified early in the NZ Battery Project by the NZ Battery Project team and MBIE Energy Markets policy team. The list was peer reviewed by the NZ Battery Technical Reference Group and Arup Ltd, and further considered by WSP Ltd.
Future decisions made within the New Zealand Energy Strategy, Gas Transition Plan, Hydrogen Roadmap, action plan for decarbonising industry, transport decarbonisation, and Electricity Authority market development workstreams may impact the NZ Battery business case and investment, and vice-versa.
If the funding requirements for the NZ Battery investment are much greater than anticipated, there may be increased cost burdens for the Crown or electricity consumers. The Indicative Business Case is informed by the current best available cost information, but this will continue to be updated as improved design information becomes available.
