National Grid has launched a consultation on the future of balancing services markets. There is an emphasis on increasing the role of flexible service providers to respond to the needs of the system. This should provide opportunities for operators of battery storage assets.
Operators of storage assets should respond to the Consultation to make sure their opinions are taken into account by National Grid. The consultation runs until 18 July 2017 and responses should be made via the newly launched Future of Balancing Services website.
