Regulatory roadmap for battery energy storage systems
Decision
Thank you to all who provided feedback on our draft roadmap consultation. This paper sets out the regulatory roadmap for the Electricity Authority’s BESS-related work over the next two years and discusses some of the initiatives underway led by others within the industry. We have chosen to focus on BESSs for this regulatory roadmap, as these are the main type of ESS likely to connect to New Zealand’s power system over the next few years.
Consultation
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are becoming increasingly important as New Zealand transitions to a more intermittent and variable renewables-based power system. This consultation sought feedback on this roadmap, and identifying potential gaps or work we should reprioritise.
Thanks to all those who provided feedback on the draft roadmap, we have now published our updated roadmap that sets out the BESS-related work we are doing over the next two years.
