The National Grid ESO has completed work on 12 units which will provide inertia to the electricity network and ensure stability in the case of sudden changes in generating capacity.
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.
Renewables investment manager Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has commissioned a new synchronous condenser installation at Rassau, in Ebbw Vale, South Wales.
Britain's electricity system will be capable of being powered solely by zero carbon sources of power by 2025 for periods at a time, National Grid ESO has said.
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.
