PV Solar Generation Data and Performance
This appendix accompanies the report “Understanding the value of residential solar PV and storage in New Zealand”. The information and results are supplied in good faith and reflect the
Ten large-scale solar farms planned for New Zealand's North and South islands are among 22 renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of 3 GW that have been listed for inclusion in the government's “one-stop shop” fast-track approvals process. From pv magazine Australia
For this study MBIE specifically requested a forecast of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar electricity generation in New Zealand to 2060. The starting point to develop a utility-scale PV solar generation forecast is to forecast utility-scale PV solar capacity, then convert that to energy.
Solar power is increasingly important to New Zealand as it provides a low-cost clean, renewable energy source. However, intermittent generation like solar and wind must be accurately forecast to allow the electricity system to coordinate itself efficiently.
In May 2020, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment released a study that considered the economics of grid-scale solar and gave forecasts to 2060, showing that New Zealand has potential for gigawatts of grid-scale solar.
