Route to market
Working on the other side of battery deals, negotiating aggregator and other route to market contracts for storage projects giving us an unparalleled insight into the issues and requirements of storage projects.
Trading
We have worked extensively on the trading side of storage deals: we have experience negotiating aggregator and other route to market contracts for storage projects across the UK and Europe – this has given us an unparalleled insight into the issues and requirements of storage projects.
Regulation
We are heavily involved in the regulatory aspect of energy storage: we were involved in designing the amendments to the capacity market rules in the UK to accommodate storage and assisting industry players to lobby regulators in the UK and Europe to change regulations to accommodate storage – this gives us a good understanding of the requirements and shortcomings of regulations in this space.
