Enderby Storage

45 MW, about 90 MWh (2 hours, from the capacity market de-rating class) in Mid Wales and The Midlands. Everything on this page is read from published data for the 364 days to 6 November 2026, or is labelled as an estimate.

UltimatelyGresham House Energy Storage Fund confirmed source

How we know. Statera's Enderby page names Gresham House Energy Storage Fund plc as project owner, with Statera as developer, EPC and O&M.

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

Until 28 July 2025 this battery sold as BFSE01 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 24 November 2025 this battery sold as BFSE1 under Arenko Cleantech Limited, taking £131k 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.

Response and reserve auctions auction implied£559k

Three lines together£1.2m

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, derived from the meter

Elexon publishes what this unit's meter recorded every half hour. Take away the balancing volumes NESO accepted and what is left is the position the unit ran outside the balancing mechanism: its wholesale trading, its frequency response delivery, and its losses, together. This unit held a frequency response contract in 5,191 of those half hours. The energy the contract asked of it, contracted megawatts times NESO's published delivery curve at the measured grid frequency, is taken out of the position and valued at the imbalance price, because it sits outside the unit's declared position and that is the price Elexon settles it at. What remains is the traded position, valued at the market index. In 9 half hours a contract was held but the grid frequency is not yet held, so those are left in the traded position. The volumes are measured. The prices are public benchmarks, not this unit's trades. The product is derived, and is shown apart from the three measured lines above. 189 days to 1 November 2026, 42 of them still provisional in Elexon's settlement runs. Method and caveats

When it moved, against when power was dear

Across every half hour this unit was metered the market index averaged £119.36. What it sent out was worth £138.96 a megawatt hour at that same index, 1.16 times the average. What it took in was worth £108.17, 0.91 times. Selling above one and buying below one is a unit positioned into the dear half hours and out of the cheap ones. It measures the half hours it chose, not the price anyone paid it, which is not published.

Checks this unit did not pass cleanly. Published anyway, because a flagged figure with its flag is more use than a blank.

Where it stands

All three measured lineswhole fleet, £/kW/yr36th percentile234 units

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 England and Wales, 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.
