Meridian Energy has officially opened New Zealand''s first large-scale grid battery storage system at Ruakākā, the first of its kind, and a milestone in the country''s renewable
The battery energy storage site (BESS) covers an area equivalent to two rugby fields and consists of 80 shipping-container-sized lithium-ion batteries, produced by French company Saft.
Meridian Energy has officially opened New Zealand''s first large-scale grid battery storage system at Ruakākā, the first of its kind,
CentrePort has already made great strides with its energy transition in a relatively short period of time, with its 100% electric port trucks and associated battery management
The complete BESS solution supplied by Saft will include 80 Intensium ® Shift battery containers, based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology with 40 inverters
The Ruakākā Energy Park is a co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) and photovoltaic power station in Ruakākā, Northland, New Zealand. The BESS has an output of 100MW and storage of 200MWh. The solar farm is still under construction. When complete, it will have a peak output of 130 MWp, and generate up to 230 GWh of electricity a year. The facility is owned and operated by Meridian Energy.
We''re taking advantage of this by building brand new energy park at Ruakākā, near Marsden Point, south of Whangārei. Ruakākā Energy Park will include a 100MW battery energy storage
