National Grid’s new modelling assumptions for battery storage

Gamechanger – might your generation connection timeframes reduce by a decade?

National Grid has radically updated its assumptions around the operation of BESS, and therefore the impact of battery storage on reinforcement requirements.

Two of our Connectologists®, Pete Aston and Catherine Cleary, discuss how this works, how and where grid queues may be freed up to allow more generation and storage to connect much earlier – and what else NGESO might be in the pipeline to help accelerate connections.
