Construction of New Zealand's first large scale grid battery storage system has finished in Ruakākā, just south of Whangārei. The Meridian Energy project has storage capacity of 200 megawatt-hours, which is enough to power 60 thousand homes for two hours. It will provide greater resilience and reduce strain to the Northland power and reduce strain on the wider power supply. Guy Waipara, Meridian Energy General Manager Development, told Kerre Woodham the batteries are designed to be available at peak periods for the network. He says it's only part of the system, but it will play a really important part at the times where energy security is challenged. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Blissful Hiker learns that her subconscious needed this journey of thousands of steps on the Te Araroa as well as important lessons about taking measured leaps of faith and letting go of the need to control to allow the trail itself to provide. In this episode: Blissful is awakened in Ruakaka by a bird with a microphone, then heads back on the beach. She meets interesting characters at Dragonspell who tell her how important it is to take the long walk, and that the trail will provide. The resident kiwi sings to her before a long day of road walking. Just when she loses hope, she's back at the beach and surfers convince her to camp in the dunes, permission given by the residents. MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoavailable on iTunesSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/blissfulhiker)
