National Grid has awarded seven firms including Vattenfall, Low Carbon and EDF Energy Renewables four-year contracts to provide balancing services to the network in the UK’s first 200MW Enhanced Frequency Response (EFR) auction.
The EFR tender was developed to bring forward new technologies that support the decarbonisation of the energy industry. E.ON UK, Element Power, RES and Belectric complete the list of successful applicants – of which half of the contracts will use battery storage technology to provide a fast response solution to system volatility.
