4 FAQs about New zealand energy storage live

Is New Zealand building more renewable electricity?

New Zealand is building more renewable electricity generation. However, renewable generation (like wind and solar) vary with the weather, so renewable electricity supply may not match up with demand. Grid scale batteries soak up excess renewable electricity, and then release it back to the grid when needed.
