Beyond energy storage, the system will provide critical voltage and frequency control, ensuring that the grid remains resilient and capable of handling fluctuations in power supply. This kind of grid support is essential as New Zealand moves away from fossil fuel reliance and integrates more renewable energy sources into its infrastructure.
New Zealand's growing energy demands are being driven by increased electrification and population growth, highlighting the need for innovative solutions. The Contact Energy BESS is uniquely positioned to address these challenges.
“Contact Energy's BESS facility represents a significant step towards a more sustainable and resilient electricity network for New Zealand,” says Paul Minchin, New Zealand Location Director. “By integrating BESS technology, we're providing a viable alternative and enhancing the dispatchability of renewable energy sources.”
