Ofgem has approved the national rollout of a new energy system developed by the network operator, Electricity North West (ENW), which the regulator precited could save consumers in Britain up to £1 billion.
In a UK first, National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) has awarded a reactive power contract to an offshore wind farm transmission asset, SSE’s Dogger Bank C.
Lightsource BP has claimed a UK-first, providing reactive power services to National Grid ESO during nighttime hours using power generated by a solar farm.
Electricity North West (ENW) is to rollout voltage control devices at its substations to optimise its network, reducing consumer bills and freeing capacity.
The nationwide introduction of voltage control across the UK’s electricity network could reduce demand by 3GW, according to distribution network operator (DNO) Electricity North West.
