The introduction of balancing settlement code modification P415 aims to open up wholesale markets to all types of flexibility, decreasing barriers to entry for independent aggregators by allowing participation beyond a consumer’s licensed electricity supplier.
Energy consumers that can be flexible with usage, do not currently see any value from their actions, except through their licensed electricity supplier, who not offer demand response services. The introduction of P415 will enable flexible consumers to appoint an independent aggregator, allowing participants of demand side response to enter into the wholesale energy markets and incentivize increased consumer participation.
In today’s episode, Paul Troughton - Senior Director of Regulatory Affairs at Enel X joins Ed to discuss the code change that he put forward. Over the conversation, they discuss:
Introduction to P415 and the roles of independent aggregators and virtual trading parties.How demand response works, particularly for commercial and industrial users.Challenges of demand response, supplier compensation and the importance of accurate baselining.The potential impact of P415 and the accessibility it opens up to wholesale markets.The future of demand side response in Great Britain.About our guest

A ‘Herculean effort’ in renewable buildout is the description used in NESO’s Clean Power 2030 report, outlining practical advice for the government on achieving a power system by 2030. The report defines what ‘Clean Energy’ means (>95% clean power generation by 2030) and discusses what buildout would need to look like in order to reach these targets. A staggering 70GW of new renewable generation is predicted to be needed to reach the targets in the ambitious Further Flex and Renewables scenario. How might these suggestions be achieved in practice, and what challenges is the industry likely to face over the next 5 years in the lead-up to target dates?
In this episode Modo Market Analyst, Joe Bush joins Ed Porter to explore NESO’s Clean Power 2030 report. Over the course of the conversation, they discuss:
The purpose of the Clean Power 2030 report and what it covers.The sheer scale of buildout required to meet renewable and flexibility system targets, from 50 GW to 130 GW.Transmission and network challenges and how the government might tackle the issue of constraint. The role of energy storage in managing constraints and supporting the grid.Exploration of potential market changes, including zonal pricing to incentivize demand location near generation.Mentioned in this episode

Battery energy storage systems in Great Britain are projected to save 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 in 2024. Carbon emission savings are achieved directly through a battery's energy actions, by importing low-carbon energy and exporting it when demand is high, whilst other methods include frequency response services and inertia management savings.
However, a battery's ability to reduce emissions is not inherent. Typically, they are operated to maximize profit, which may not always align with carbon-saving goals. For batteries to serve as effective tools for offsetting, there must be incentives to engage in emission-reducing behaviours. Insights into better carbon accounting and integration of storage into carbon accounting frameworks are some of the ways that can help identify how and where batteries can make the most impact.
In this episode, Quentin talks to Tierra Climate Co-founder and CTO, Emma Konet. Over the course of the conversation, they discuss:
The ‘four quadrants’ of carbon offsetting and where battery energy storage sits in this framework. The complexities in accurately measuring emissions and the role of voluntary carbon markets.Using locational marginal emissions factors for accurate carbon measurement.Discussion on the operational challenges of batteries in reducing emissions.The potential for carbon offsets to support energy storage projects financially.Mentioned in the episode

Battery revenues in ERCOT in June 2024 were 85% lower than June 2023, with average earnings of $45/kW (annualized), compared with when batteries earned a massive $309/kW/year in 2023.
With the summer months historically providing the bulk of high revenue days for battery energy storage, operators would expect the sixth hottest summer on record to provide a similar picture, but that has not been the case in 2024. Increased competition in Ancillary Services, a boom in renewables buildout and changes to strategic operations have resulted in a very different picture.
In this episode, Brandt Vermillion, ERCOT Market Lead at Modo Energy joins Quentin to give us insight into what has been driving battery revenues in ERCOT over the summer months.
Over the conversation, they discuss:
Recent buildout of storage and solar PV in ERCOT.The historical significance of the summer months on battery revenues, and why this has changed in 2024.Insight into the competitive nature of the market and saturation of ancillary services.Introduction to DART (Day Ahead Real Time) trading as a new strategy for capturing revenue.The emergence of tolling agreements as a response to revenue volatility.About Modo Energy

As residential energy storage systems become more widespread, an exciting opportunity is emerging for homeowners: participating in energy markets and helping to stabilize the grid. But how can smaller home batteries combine forces to contribute during times of high demand? The answer lies in virtual power plants (VPPs). These interconnected networks of residential storage systems work together to provide energy back to the grid when needed. Not only do VPPs support grid stability, but they also create potential revenue streams for participating homeowners by compensating them for their stored energy.
Geoff Ferrell, Senior Vice President of Global C&I and VPP Project Business in the Americas at sonnen, Inc. joins Quentin for this week’s episode. Over the course of the conversation, they discuss:
sonnen’s role in pioneering residential energy storage and the company’s growth and market presence.
