National Grid ESO is re-assessing the methodology used to calculate de-rating factors for energy storage, with project operators saying it currently undervalues the technology.
Using National Grid ESO’s monthly electricity statistics Solar Power Portal looks back on how solar contributed to Britain’s electricity mix throughout 2023.
Zenobē has begun construction of its 50MW/100MWh battery storage asset in Scotland, said to be the first transmission connected battery in the country.

Solar Power Portal caught up with Open Climate Fix co-founder Dr Jack Kelly – a former engineer at Google DeepMind – to discuss where transformer models came from, how they can apply to solar forecasting and how they could change the energy sector.
Solar Power Portal caught up with Harmony Energy CEO Peter Kavanagh about how the industry has changed and what that means for the growth of battery energy storage, as barriers to large-scale development continue to fall away.
National Grid ESO’s projections for solar have increased as it expects there to be “significantly higher levels of solar generation” than it predicted in its 2019 Future Energy Scenarios (FES).
