Balancing Innovation & Stability in Market Infrastructure

Interest in private network generation, whereby an electricity generator supplies electricity directly to an end user via a private network, has surged, driven by the promise of cost savings and additional capacity. This blog explores the potential of private networks and how expert support can help unlock their full value.

Cornwall Insight experts Anna Moss and Robert Buckley meet with Uswitch CEO Angus McCarey to discuss the future of energy supply markets and the evolving role of consumers in the net zero transition

Meeting the UK’s targets of a clean power sector by 2030 and a net zero economy by 2050 will require a significant growth in intermittent renewable generation, and an accompanying increase in technologies that can provide system flexibility – of which batteries are a key component. Our latest blog explores the evolution of the GB battery revenue stack over the last few years and the key drivers behind this.

This question and answer blog explores the purpose, capacity, and implications of gas storage in GB while addressing the key question: should we be worried about running low?

To facilitate an ever-growing supply of intermittent renewable energy generation, there is a need for the Single Electricity Market (SEM) for Ireland and Northern Ireland to have robust System Services

We look at the opportunities for businesses and optimisers that have been opened up by the implementation of Virtual Trading Party arrangements under P415

This report, developed in partnership with Integrate to Zero, explores the highlights, insights, and themes that are characterising household flexibility markets around the world.

In this blog post, we explore the key insights from the report titled “Revenue Stacking for Flexibility: A Report for National Grid Electricity Distribution” and shed light on the opportunities and challenges/solutions that lie ahead for providers of distributed flexibility services to electricity network operators in Great Britain.

The research underpinning this report aims to understand the financial and environmental benefits of household flexibility for consumers and the national energy system. We have analysed the difference between a scenario where households participate in flexibility, and one where they don’t.
