The Capacity Market T-1 auction cleared at a record high price in the UK this week, with 17 batteries winning spots.
This was a sizeable jump from last year, when just two assets managed to secure spots, as the role of renewables and storage continues to grow in the country.
A total kDe-Rated Capacity of 2252.116MW was procured by National Grid ESO, just shy of the target announced by the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy of 2.4GW. This was significantly higher than the initial target set by the government department of 0.4GW in July 2020, in an effort to manage a “range of non-delivery uncertainties”.

Although there is growing interest within the energy storage industry around the National Grid’s Dynamic Containment (DC) system, operators who tap into it must be careful not to neglect other revenue streams, a panel of industry experts heard this week.
Ancillary services have become one of the biggest opportunities for battery storage in recent months, particularly in the UK, where the National Grid ESO rolled out its new Dynamic Containment service last October. DC has one of the highest returns of any operator services with a cap of £17 (US$23.96) /MW/h, but it is still largely undersubscribed as asset optimisers and owners struggle with the requirements.
