ENGIE Power Limited

Sells into the markets for 3 units at 3 sites, 102 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 2 of the 3; the other 1 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

2 hours and up 100 MW · not published 2 MW

Region, by megawatt

Scotland 100 MW · England and Wales 2 MW

Whose batteries it sells

It sells only for itself: every battery in the book belongs to its own group. A battery that re-registered under a new code is counted once.

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.
