How we know. Sizing John, Native River and Al Boum Photo are the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Cheltenham Gold Cup winners, and all three companies share one registered office with Varco Energy and the Adaptogen Battery Storage fund. The control filing on Sizing John Limited runs to Varco Energy Holdco 1 Limited.
Market registers name the party that sells into the market, which for a battery is usually an optimiser under contract rather than the owner. This unit is registered only in the response and reserve auctions, so the seller is the participant NESO's auction results name, and Elexon's register carries no entry to check it against. How we tell them apart
What it earned
| Line | 364 days to 22 September 2026 |
|---|---|
| Balancing mechanism | not published |
| Response and reserve auctions auction implied | £0 |
| Capacity market | no agreement we can attach |
| Three lines together | £0 |
Balancing is offer revenue and does not net off the cost of the power. The response and reserve figure is the value implied by the published auction results, award quantity times clearing price times the length of the delivery window, and not a settled payment. Capacity market income is at the price the agreement cleared at, before inflation uprating, so it is a floor. Method
Outside the balancing mechanism
No estimate for this registration. The battery sells under a newer code now, and anything estimated for it belongs on that page, so it is not counted twice. Method
The nearest comparables

Why every line reads zero
This registration has never appeared with an award or an acceptance in any market we read. That is the whole public record.
