Will Rankine power supply increase wholesale electricity prices in New Zealand?Concept Consulting’s modelling shows that without thermal generation from the Rankine units as part of New Zealand’s energy storage solution, wholesale electricity prices would likely be 60% higher in the short-term (the next two-to-three years) and 11% higher in the long-term (ten+ years).
Is there value in New Zealand's storage solutions?There is value in New Zealand having diversity for its storage solutions, as seen by the impact of the lack of gas in Winter 2024. This white paper presents the key findings of that analysis, including considering a long list of solutions for flexibility and modelling of electricity prices under different scenarios.
Who sells electricity in New Zealand?Genesis sells electricity, reticulated natural gas and LPG through its retail brands of Genesis and Frank and is one of New Zealand’s largest energy retailers with more than 490,000 customers. The Company generates electricity from a diverse portfolio of thermal and renewable generation assets located in different parts of the country.
Is energy storage a profitable business model?Although academic analysis finds that business models for energy storage are largely unprofitable, annual deployment of storage capacity is globally on the rise (IEA, 2020). One reason may be generous subsidy support and non-financial drivers like a first-mover advantage (Wood Mackenzie, 2019).
