Optimising Energy Flexibility at CentrePort: New Zealand’s Blueprint for Site-Based BESS Integration
Time: 14:30 - 14:50
Date: Day 2
Synopsis
CentrePort Wellington is deploying a 1.5MWh/750kW battery system to enable port electrification while avoiding costly infrastructure upgrades. The presentation explores CentrePort’s journey in integrating BESS with flexible site assets—such as EV chargers, reefer loads, and solar arrays—to unlock stacked value across demand response, energy arbitrage, reserves, and power factor correction. Supported by Ara Ake’s economic modelling, this commercially viable solution has secured board approval for 2025 installation, establishing a blueprint for customer-led energy flexibility in industrial settings.
