EDF Energy Customers Limited

Sells into the markets for 25 units at 24 sites, 844 MW together, over the 364 days to 27 September 2026. Everything here is measured from published settlement and auction results; wholesale trading is invisible for every optimiser, not just this one. Elexon's balancing mechanism register names it on 15 of the 25; the other 10 are auction registrations, where the name is NESO's and unchecked.

What the book is made of

Performance follows portfolio shape as much as skill: a Scottish, long duration book does a different job from an English one hour book, so the mix belongs beside the money, not in a footnote.

Duration, by megawatt

about 1 hour 525 MW · 2 hours and up 258 MW · not published 61 MW

Region, by megawatt

Scotland 30 MW · England and Wales 814 MW

Whose batteries it sells

None of the book is its own. The 8 owners behind it are established from control filings, on the owner pages. A battery that re-registered under a new code is counted once.

What the documents say

The register names who sells; these are the arrangements behind that, from owner and optimiser announcements, each with its kind, because an optimisation agreement, a route to market, a toll, a floor and self-trading are different products with different risk.

Attribution. A unit belongs to whoever the market registers as its seller today, so a book that changed hands mid year credits the whole year to the current seller. The exception is a battery that re-registered under a new code: it is counted once, under the code it runs on today, and where the earlier code sold through somebody else that seller keeps what it earned. We have recorded optimiser switches since 27 August 2026 and the record deepens from here. Corporate families are not joined: a platform selling through several registered entities appears as several rows on the optimiser list.
