Wind Energy Integration in New Zealand
Wind energy could supply around 34% per cent of New Zealand's future peak electricity demand, according to a new study, Wind Energy Integration in New Zealand.
In 2004 MED and EECA established a project group to advance knowledge and understanding of the potential for wind generation to be integrated into the New Zealand electricity supply system. Wind Energy Integration in New Zealand was commissioned as the first phase of the project. It is the first piece of research by EECA and MED in this area and is intended to generate further discussion. Prior to this study, there has been considerable speculation about the amount of wind energy the grid could handle.
