2025/04/03

Battery storage and renewable energy assets are only as effective as the systems that optimize them, and to do this, there needs to be clear and effective rules on how this is determined. Elexon is responsible for the Balancing & Settlement Code, or BSC, a document outlining the rules of the balancing mechanism and imbalance pricing in Great Britain. With the rise of smaller, aggregated assets and the push towards net zero, the energy landscape is changing fast, and things like the BSC need to

A ‘Herculean effort’ in renewable buildout is the description used in NESO’s Clean Power 2030 report, outlining practical advice for the government on achieving a power system by 2030. The report defines what ‘Clean Energy’ means (>95% clean power generation by 2030) and discusses what buildout would need to look like in order to reach these targets. A staggering 70GW of new renewable generation is predicted to be needed to reach the targets in the ambitious Further Flex and Renewables scenario

2024/11/07

Battery energy storage systems in Great Britain are projected to save 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 in 2024. Carbon emission savings are achieved directly through a battery's energy actions, by importing low-carbon energy and exporting it when demand is high, whilst other methods include frequency response services and inertia management savings. However, a battery's ability to reduce emissions is not inherent. Typically, they are operated to maximize profit, which may not always align with

Battery revenues in ERCOT in June 2024 were 85% lower than June 2023, with average earnings of $45/kW (annualized), compared with when batteries earned a massive $309/kW/year in 2023. With the summer months historically providing the bulk of high revenue days for battery energy storage, operators would expect the sixth hottest summer on record to provide a similar picture, but that has not been the case in 2024.
