Independent power producer Low Carbon has signed optimisation agreements with Habitat Energy, Flexitricity, and EDF across four battery energy storage systems (BESS) with a capacity of 95MW.
US battery storage developer and long-term management firm Spearmint Energy is “a little bit distrustful” of the “black box” of optimisation, its head of trading told Energy-Storage.news.
Optimisation deals have been announced for battery storage systems in the UK for Habitat Energy and Centrica with developers Eelpower and Arlington Energy respectively.
Energy storage specialist Fluence and renewable energy market software and advisory firm Pexapark have entered into a long-term strategic partnership, confirming Fluence’s accelerated push into wider renewable energy and energy storage software services.
Fluence has struck a deal that could showcase new digital capabilities since it took over energy storage artificial intelligence and software provider Advanced Microgrid Solutions (AMS) last year.
Merchant energy storage has become an investable asset class in the UK, a provider of battery optimisation services has said, with the market moving away from an emphasis on contracted revenue streams for supplying grid services.
