The Backstory: Our client is looking to sell 2 x 250kVA / 270kWh battery systems. The batteries are brand new. Five were purchased for network support in 2019, but were ultimately not required due to changing requirements. Three have since been sold, and New Energy Ventures are helping sell the remaining two via this Dutch Auction.

Bidding in a Dutch auction
-
This auction has fixed price period, followed by a falling price period, which continues until both batteries are either sold or withdrawn by vendor.
-
The battery is offered to bidders on a first-come, first-served basis.
-
Bidders should place their bid at the time when the price is at their willingness to pay.
-
As there are two batteries available, the two first bidders will 'win' the auction. The price at the time of the second (lower) bid will be offered to both the first and second bidder.
-
Bidders can also 'pre-bid' i.e. make an offer at a future price. Should the price fall to the nominated offer price, the offer is automatically converted into a valid bid, at the offer price.

-
Commencing 9am, 14th July, the price will drop $625/hour ($5000 per workday) until both batteries receive bids.
