balancing mechanism

‘Hybrid’ solar plus storage developments should become a key new area of interest for investors according to Anesco after the company’s subsidy-free solar project was used in the Balancing Mechanism (BM) for the first time last week.

Renewables developer Anesco has set its sights on bringing up to 380MW of battery storage to market by 2020.

National Grid has confirmed its intent to trial distributed energy generators including solar PV as sources of frequency response next year.
