Expected ROI of standalone energy storage project in New Zealand 2030

What will New Zealand's energy sector look like in 2030?

In 2030, New Zealand’s energy sector has a much more diverse set of companies, communities and customers who have taken energy ownership into their own hands. Amongst them are “leaders” who realized earlier in the decade, that they needed to act, and decarbonise to protect their value chain.

Will batteries be a big part of New Zealand's energy ecosystem in 2030?

Battery technology advancements will also likely be playing a bigger part of our energy ecosystem in 2030. The fact that batteries are lower cost, greater energy density, more recyclable, and part of a circular economy, is a big factor in underpinning their wider use around New Zealand by 2030.

How can New Zealand achieve its energy goals?

The development and adoption of new renewable power generation, energy storage, demand management and digital technologies, based on a solid strategy and facilitated through good relationships with consumers and communities, should enable New Zealand to achieve its energy goals.

What will New Zealand do in the 2030s?

In the 2030s, with electrification still growing, we need to make sure that people have confidence in the grid. Once our energy system pushes past 90% renewable power generation, there will be a trade-off between certainty and uncertainty. In 2030, we have more diverse renewable power generation and more New Zealanders owning electric vehicles.
