Solar power in New Zealand is increasing in capacity, in part due to price supports created through the emissions trading scheme. As of the end of May 2025, New Zealand has 633 MW of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) solar power installed, of which 205 MW (32%) was installed in the last 12 months.

[pdf] Recently, HyperStrong’s Königssee standalone energy storage project has achieved a significant milestone. As an important energy storage project in central Germany, it aims to optimize local power distribution, enhance energy efficiency, and ensure the stable operation of the regional power grid.
