Located near Huntly in the mighty Waikato region, the Rotohiko Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) comprises 16 battery containers and 4 inverter systems and has an overall energy storage capacity of 33MWh. The BESS connects to the distribution network at 33kV.
The site can store enough energy to meet the daily demands of over 2,000 homes. We were involved in the project since 2022 when work began on the site.
This is a NewPower Energy-owned plant that was designed and built by Infratec. We were involved in tender-reviews, site visits, providing safety and compliance advice and developing and implementing a work management system for Infratec. We also provide NewPower Energy with ongoing, post-project support.
