Arenko has signed a new contract to optimise Vattenfall’s 22MW/16MWh battery, the first battery storage site to be co-located with a wind farm in the UK.
Arenko has become the first provider to qualify a non-Balancing Mechanism Unit (BMU) while complying with Dynamic Containment's requirement for real time monitoring.
Battery storage was called into action following the IFA2 interconnector with France – which went live late last month – tripping on Friday (29 January).
2020 was a record-breaking year, with wind generation, solar, and coal-free records helping to make it the greenest year ever for Great Britain’s electricity network.
