There are grid scale batteries on the UK grid. Surely they’re being used.

One could work out what the discrepancy between consumption and production during the day to infer the battery discharge rate, but I don’t think there’s anything there…

There has been talk, seemingly power generation dispatch a year or so ago was do e by phoning up the power station and saying “More amperes please Mr Woodbine”.

My understanding is this is being written to an automatic system which isn’t fully commissioned.

Grid battery owners a few years go were irate that they weren’t in the offing to sell power. But that must be resolved by now, since so much money is being invested in it.

Unless that is for non-grid power supply.
