Proposals have been brought forward by Photovolt Development Partners (PVDP) for the creation of a solar project in Botley West, Oxfordshire, which could deliver 840MW of clean energy to National Grid.

Anesco’s new 50MW battery storage site has been given the green light by Brentwood Borough Council, with the project to be another example of how batteries are benefiting the grid and offering returns for investors, the company has said.

Despite the uncertainty created by COVID-19, Octopus Renewable Infrastructure Trust’s (ORIT) dividend remains on track as the company releases its full interim results.

Octopus Renewables has acquired a 9.1MW portfolio of operational residential UK rooftop solar assets.

Zero carbon sources, including solar, generated more power in 2019 than fossil fuels in a historic first, according to National Grid.

Battery storage facilities played a pivotal role in responding to a transmission system stress event that caused power cuts and disruption in the UK last week.

National Grid has completed the $100 million (£80 million) acquisition of US solar and wind developer Geronimo Energy.

The UK’s solar fleet set a new record for peak PV generation yesterday, topping out at 9.47GW.

Solar and storage technologies would possess a “mutually beneficial interaction” in the Capacity Market (CM) should renewables be introduced into the mechanism, National Grid has said.

National Grid has confirmed that the expansion of Balancing Use of System (BSUoS) charges to include embedded generation is being considered by Ofgem, after Engie attempted to fast track the decision via a system operator workgroup.
