Shaniyaa looks into the buildout of battery energy storage in Q1 2024. 184 MW of new capacity becoming operational in Q1 2024, the lowest since Q3 2022. The new capacity came from six new battery energy storage units. These range from 19 MW to 50 MW in rated power and one to two hours in duration.
The delays mean some renewable power generators are now facing a wait of 10 years or more to actually start supplying clean electricity to the National Grid. The National Grid Electricity System Operator has said it will kick energy projects out of the queue to connect to the grid if they aren't progressing fast enough.
184 MW of new capacity becoming operational in Q1 2024, the lowest since Q3 2022. The new capacity came from six new battery energy storage units. These range from 19 MW to 50 MW in rated power and one to two hours in duration. Only 190 MW - 500 MW of the 1.7 GW in the pipeline for Q2 2024 is likely to begin commercial operation in Q2.
Power has been restored to all National Grid customers who suffered outages due to Storm Darragh, according to its operation director. Roisin Quinn described it as the "biggest restoration effort ever on our network" after about 64,000 properties were left without power in mid and south Wales alone.
Post Black Start, the National Grid continency planning targets an average restoration time of 24 hours to reinstate 60% of the national electricity demand, but only if it is “practical and cost-effective to do so”.
The 184 MW of new capacity in Q1 2024 means that the total capacity at the end of the quarter was 3.9 GW. Six units ranging from 19 MW to 50 MW in size began operation between January and March 2024. This includes the second unit from TagEnergy/Harmony Energy’s Jamesfield site. The first unit began commercial operations in Q4 2023.
