Market registers name the party that sells into the market, which for a battery is usually an optimiser under contract rather than the owner. How we tell them apart
What it earned
| Line | 364 days to 19 August 2026 |
|---|---|
| Balancing mechanism | £694k |
| Response and reserve auctions auction implied | −£29k |
| Capacity market | no agreement we can attach |
| Three lines together | £664k |
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
The response line is negative, and that is what the published auction results say. The high direction response services, where a battery commits to absorbing power rather than exporting it, have been clearing below zero, so a unit holding those contracts pays for the position instead of being paid for it.
What it might have earned trading, estimated
| At our middle assumption | £1.2m |
| Across the range | £888k to £1.4m |
| Energy cycled in the year | 48,304 MWh |
This one is a model, not a measurement. Nobody publishes what any site traded. It is never added to the measured lines. How it is worked out and what is wrong with it
