​In this week’s edition of our Current± Price Watch series – powered by LCP Enact – we chatted to KrakenFlex about what the low demand due to mild weather and surging wind generation mean for power prices, and what the flexibility requirements are likely to be in the coming months.

Construction has started on a project in Ireland pairing a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a synchronous condenser, developed by Lumcloon Energy and Hanwha Energy.

​National Grid ESO needs to plan and operate the system with lower levels of inertia as the UK moves to net zero, with pathfinder projects exploring the procurement of inertia.

​For the next session in the Current± Briefings webinar series, we’re chatting to National Grid ESO about the growing market for inertia in Britain.

​Three fossil fuel free turbines will go live this summer, producing green inertia by mimicking the effect of a power station, according to National Grid ESO.
