Rhondda Cynon Taf (HAB-19)

21 MW in South Wales and Gloucester. Everything on this page is read from published data for the 364 days to 27 September 2026, or is labelled as an estimate.

This registration has been superseded. The battery here has sold as Rhondda Cynon Taf (HIRWB-1) since 31 July 2025; this code, sold by HABITAT ENERGY LIMITED, last appeared on 22 July 2025. The page stays for the record, and the unit is no longer counted in fleet totals or ranked in the league.

How we know. The register names no owner for the Hirwaun units. The capacity market register holds a Pulse Clean Energy Limited site called Hirwaun 900 metres away, which is the usual gap between a postcode centre and a capacity market grid reference, and HIRWB is Hirwaun shortened.

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

Balancing mechanismnot published
Response and reserve auctions auction implied£0
Capacity marketno 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 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

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

How long this battery can run for is not published, so duration is not used to choose them. Same market, same rules, same weather.
