TWAICE Vision Summit 2024: Availability of Grid-Scale Batteries
April 10, 2024
Availability of Grid-Scale Batteries
Quentin Scrimshire, founder and CEO of Modo Energy, gave a presentation at the TWAICE Vision Summit 2024 entitled "Availability of grid scale batteries: what does the data show?"
Quentin analyzed the UK and Ercot electricity grids. In 2023 Ercot showed a higher availability rate (97%) than that of the United Kingdom (95%). Increasing this percentage is crucial because, as he pointed out: "an 1% increase in availability has resulted in savings of 2k/MW in UK and ERCOT markets"
