Glenbrook-Ohurua Battery
Energy type: Battery storing electricity generated by New Zealand''s hydro, geothermal and wind power stations when there is low demand. Construction: Begun July 2024 with the battery
Battery energy storage systems are set to play an increasingly important role in New Zealand's electricity supply.
But the national electricity system depends heavily on the fluctuating storage capacity of hydropower lakes, which makes the country prone to energy shortages during dry years. The NZ Battery Project aims to address this. One of the options being investigated is the Onslow pumped storage hydropower (PSH) scheme.
Centered on Spark architecture, Huawei's intelligent power generation solution offers digital power infrastructure, smart thermal power, smart new energy, smart hydropower, and smart nuclear power solutions at the four layers of cloud, pipe, edge, and device.
Nuclear power is not used in New Zealand. Source: First power station owned by government. Dismantled in 1941. Dam used as popular swimming spot. Decommissioned due to lightning strike damage. Believed to be the oldest hydro electric power station in the world that still operates.
