wind curtailment

Field has signalled that wind curtailment costs could be slashed by up to 80% annually if sufficient battery energy storage is developed.

National Grid ESO has proposed a £58bn investment in the electricity grid so it can meet the demands of being fully decarbonised by 2035.

The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee released a report today (13 March) determining that the government must make “major decisions about future energy infrastructure”.

In this blog, Current± takes a deep dive into wind curtailment and how this could present an opportunity for battery energy storage.

​National Grid ESO has chosen Piclo to run a Local Constraint Market (LCM) around the B6 boundary to ease grid constraints.

​In this week’s edition of our Current± Price Watch series – powered by LCP Enact – we take a look at the record high wind generation – and curtailment – over the past week, as National Grid ESO sets out its Winter Outlook Report.

​In this week’s Current± Price Watch series – powered by LCP Enact – we take a look at surging winds and rumous of electricity market reform.

​The cost of curtailing wind generation in 2021 hit a record high, costing Britain £507 million.

​An increase of 20GWh of battery storage could reduce the amount of wasted wind power in Great Britain by 50%, according to new analysis from LCP.
