Byers Brae (EDF01N)

What it is

Who owns it and who trades it

How we know. The registered office of each company names Gresham House Asset Management, read company by company on 31 August 2026. The address alone would not settle it, because 875 companies sit at 5 New Street Square; the care of line naming the manager is the discriminator.

Market registers name the party that sells into the market, which for a battery is usually an optimiser under contract rather than the owner. Elexon's balancing mechanism unit register names the seller here and the name is checked against it on every build. How we tell them apart

Before 31 March 2025 this battery sold as NFSE02 under F & S Energy Ltd. The handover shows in the register as a new code, not a renaming, and the old page keeps its record.

Until 19 August 2026 this battery sold as BYBRB-1 under OCTOPUS ENERGY TRADING LIMITED, taking £132k inside this page's year. The handover shows in the register as a new code, not a renaming, and the old page keeps its record.

What it earned

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 the cleared price raised for inflation where the auction set a base period, split by month on EMRS's weights. Method

Outside the balancing mechanism, estimated from metered peers

The meter published under this code is not this battery's. Under this code Elexon publishes the meter of V__NFEEL400, a virtual unit, which has exported nothing and imported up to 187 MW since 15 July 2026. That is demand, not this 28 MW battery. This site reads no meter for it, so nothing can be derived for it. What can be said is what its peers did: 28 metered units in Scotland, all durations, metered, earned between £3.81 and £65.95 per kilowatt a year with the balancing legs and the position outside the balancing mechanism together, £33.97 at the median. Applied to this unit's 28 MW that is £951k, in a range of £107k to £1.8m. An estimate from other batteries, never this one's figure. Method

Where it stands

Percentiles, so 90 means better than nine in ten of the cohort named beside it, on that measure alone, over the same 364 days. Rates are pounds per kilowatt per year, annualised over the days the unit has been on the system, the same figures the performance league ranks on. A high position in the taken-in table is not a fault: a constraint asset is paid to charge, and charging is its job.

The nearest comparables

The five nearest in size in Scotland, and this battery among them, ranked by what each was paid for every kilowatt it holds over the 364 days to the same date. They run for about the same length of time. Same market, same rules, same weather.

In its distribution register

The distribution register of SP Energy Networks lists this site as Byers Brae Battery Storage, 30 MW, connected. Matched on a site word in common, 0 km apart.
