In a New Zealand first, Counties Energy is completing the life-cycle for used electric vehicle (EV) batteries by converting them into its Berm Battery energy storage system for recharging EVs.
New Zealand has tremendous knowledge in the development of energy storage materials (PCM); their encapsulation and use. The work which has been conducted at University of Auckland over the last 20 years has generated significant knowledge that could be used for true implementation within a very limited time period.
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.
FERC has ruled that energy storage must not be charged transmission charges if it is providing scheduled network support services (including frequency keeping, reliability/reserves and voltage support). This is intended to ensure even-handed treatment of energy storage in the market for network support services.
New England ISO is proposing to specify that storage is exempt from charges where it “is providing one or more of the following services: reactive power voltage support, operating reserves, regulation and frequency response, balancing energy supply and demand, or addressing a reliability concern.
Importantly, in New Zealand, space heating was found to average 34% of total household energy use (23). The most common forms of space heating are wood burners, convection plug-in electric heating systems and heat pumps.
Electricity is a convenient means of transferring and using energy. In New Zealand, our hydro lakes store energy on a large scale. However, until now we have had limited options to store …
