Technical FAQs 4

How does a lithium ion battery work in New Zealand?

How it works The lithium-ion batteries (similar technology to those used in EVs and laptops) will store electricity generated by New Zealand’s hydro, geothermal and wind power stations when there is low demand. Without this storage this electricity would otherwise go to waste.

When will New Zealand's energy storage project come online?

The energy storage project is expected to come online during the July-to-September period of 2026. Saft described the Huntly Power Station as “the single largest electricity generation site in New Zealand.” New Zealand welcomed its first utility-scale battery energy storage system earlier this year.

Will Saft's battery energy storage system improve New Zealand's electricity grid?

Enhanced Grid Stability: The integration of Saft's battery energy storage system (BESS) will provide essential stability to New Zealand's electricity grid.

What is New Zealand's First Utility-scale battery energy storage system?

New Zealand welcomed its first utility-scale battery energy storage system earlier this year. The 35 MW/35 MWh Rotohiko battery facility commenced operation with electricity distribution company WEL Networks in April, after compleating testing and commissioning.
