Technical FAQs 4

Will a 100 mw storage system improve New Zealand's national grid?

The 100 MW storage system, to be operated by Meridian Energy, is designed to improve the stability of New Zealand’s national grid as intermittent renewable power generation increases in the country.

What are the different types of distributed solar generation in New Zealand?

This generation is usually used at or near where it is produced. Other types of distributed generation in New Zealand include small hydro generation schemes, geothermal, small wind farms, and generation produced from industrial processes. In 2022, New Zealand had a record amount of distributed solar generation installed (68 MW).

What is New Zealand's 100 MW solar system?

The 100-MW system, which will be built at Ruakaka in the country's North Island, will try to enhance the stability of the national grid as intermittent wind and solar power increases in New Zealand. It will have a storage capacity of 200 MWh to support the local grid demand for around two hours.

Is a 130 MW solar farm being built in New Zealand?

A large-scale grid-connected battery energy storage system is to be built at Ruakākā on North Island, which is the first stage of a project that will also include the construction of a co-located 130 MW solar farm. This is thought to be the first of its kind in New Zealand.
