New Zealand identified 11 gw solar power potential

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: New Zealand, said state grid operator Transpower wind and water and electricity have make full use of solar energy, and decline in the cost of storing has sparked the great interest for the photovoltaic (pv).

according to the real-time transmission of data, Transpower website has nearly 90% of its electricity demand for renewable energy, but there is no included in the operation of the photovoltaic (pv) clean energy technologies.

, according to the grid operators because of electrification of industrial processes and the increase of mobility, New Zealand's electricity demand will increase, so there will be more investment opportunities, in accordance with the Paris treaty obligation.

in its new Te Mauri Hiko energy futures report, grid operators, from now to 2050, generating almost doubled.

so far, New Zealand has installed 85 mw of solar cells, and nearly half in the past two years in Auckland and densely populated areas such as increase of Canterbury.

the report stressed residential solar energy potential is enormous, in neighboring Australia was quick to adopt. The author has 1. 8 million homes and 30 m businesses, claims can install 11 gw pv. The figure will only grows with the time, because New Zealand need to bridal chamber, solar equipment is efficiency. The authors of the report, said in 2050, the potential of rooftop photovoltaics could reach around 27 gw.

Transpower said that New Zealand has encountered in the late afternoon peak demand, and warned that no stored solar energy device can only be magnified effect. Grid operators recommendations to the electric car battery, residential community and storage system and utility scale solution in the form of use of energy storage, and also supports the new fee structure to encourage time shift.

national institute of water and atmospheric research, according to a study in New Zealand solar radiation is insufficient to make photovoltaic development become valuable. National institute of the study found that New Zealand has about 1. 5 mw/m2 irradiation Numbers, and northern Spain, far higher than that of Germany, Britain and the Netherlands.

in December, the country issued two major announcement. One involves the launch is said to be the world's largest virtual power plants ( VPP) , another $69 million worth of green investment financing institution.

climate change minister James & middot; Shaw held in Auckland on December 1st Solarcity activities disclosed in the VPP plan. The headquarters is located in New Zealand solar energy company has 3000 residential solar energy storage system is connected to the power grid, its solar customers has 13 by the battery. 6 GWh of energy, these cells can be stored together 18 megawatts. Solarcity, said VPP will provide energy for Transpower demand response plan, generator will get corresponding remuneration.

, according to the financial department NZGIF will be based on the 1989 & other; Public finance law & throughout; Was formally established, which means it will be independent of the government's work. But the new entity's mission is to focus on transport of decarburization and improve the distributed energy on the Internet.

according to the development of these new Transpower report said & other; In the fight against unmitigated climate change or make our economy in the struggle decarburization not a panacea. This work suggests that, however, and we in this claim is that solar energy will be in our energy future and we deal with climate crisis to play a greater role. “
