How will a lithium battery help New Zealand's electricity supply?
Contact's CEO Mike Fuge says the industrial-sized lithium battery will play a key role in maintaining a reliable supply of electricity for New Zealand, particularly during periods of high demand throughout the winter. It will also ultimately help with Contact's transition away from an increasingly constrained gas market.
Why does New Zealand need 'flexible' energy?
has largely displaced thermal generation assets from baseload duty. As with other electricity markets around the world, the use of renewables means the market faces great exposure to climatic conditions – the amount of rain, wind, and sunshine in particular locations – and therefore New Zealand requires significant amounts of 'flexible'
