New research from Modo Energy has revealed that 12% of total battery revenues are now coming from the National Grid ESO’s (ESO) Balancing Reserves (BR).
The success of the trial between Octopus Energy and National Grid ESO, which uses electric vehicles (EVs) in the Balancing Mechanism (BM) hints that the integration could reduce system costs by almost £100 million.
The high volume of renewables in Britain's electricity mix saw generation average at 133gCO2/kWh - "the lowest achieved in the last year" - the National Grid ESO has said.
