Meridian Energy is building New Zealand’s first large-scale grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) at Ruakākā on North Island Paris, January 10, 2023 – Saft, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, has been awarded a major contract by Meridian Energy to construct New Zealand’s first large-scale grid-connected BESS.
It is estimated that the BESS can deliver annual revenues of up to $35 million. Advanced battery storage solutions provider, Saft, received a contract from Meridian Energy to construct New Zealand's first large-scale grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) at Ruakākā on North Island.
Located at Ruakaka in the country’s North Island, the 100 MW BESS will improve the stability of the national grid, as intermittent renewable power generation increases in New Zealand. The BESS is the first stage of a project that will include the construction of a co-located 130 MW solar farm by Meridian Energy.
Construction on the Ruakaka battery energy storage system is set to begin in the first quarter of this year. The battery is expected to go online in the second half of 2024. This content is protected by copyright and may not be reused.
