CentrePort to pilot battery energy storage system
- CentrePort Wellington
- CentrePort is taking another step on its energy journey with an onsite battery energy storage system (BESS) which will improve resilience and enhance the potential for future emission reductions. BESS systems use large rechargeable batteries to store energy for later use, which can make renewable energy supply more flexible and help alleviate network supply constraints. CentrePort will be installing a pilot scale 1000kWhr / 500kW BESS facility to address current operational challenges and meet the near-term needs of electrification initiatives.

Metlink’s Airport Express set to break 2023 patronage record
- Greater Wellington Regional Council
- Eight months since Metlink’s Airport Express exceeded forecast demand, latest patronage figures indicate a new record is poised to be set. 364,191 trips were recorded on the fully electric buses’ first year of operation to 20 July 2023 – 128% of the number expected. With over 320,000 trips already taken in the service’s second year of operation and figures for April and May forecast to be around 36,000 in each month, patronage is set to surpass the 2023 total in just ten months. Greater Wellington chair Daran Ponter say he’s delighted by the patronage growth which underscores Metlink’s commitment to providing efficient and reliable transport options for our residents and visitors alike.

Budget absence of new trains surprises and disappoints regional councils
- Greater Wellington Regional Council
- The Budget’s failure to contribute funding for a fleet of hybrid electric trains in the lower North Island has surprised and disappointed Greater Wellington and Horizons regional councils. The trains, which are battery powered on non-electric track, were proposed by the councils in a business case paid for by Waka Kotahi. Greater Wellington chair Daran Ponter and Horizons chair Rachel Keedwell said the government’s decision was, “Like the lights being turned off”. "It’s especially disappointing for commuters and surprising for our councils. But we’re not giving up,” Cr Ponter said. “When enacted, our business case will significantly reduce transport emissions while providing for population growth and the replacement of aged rolling stock.” Supported by Manawatū-Whanganui’s seven mayors, as well as the eight mayors of the Wellington region, the business case recommends a $762 million dollar investment in a fleet of 22 four-car, tri-mode trains, and associated infrastructure.
