Statkraft and emsys VPP have integrated the 300MW Thurrock battery storage facility into a Virtual Power Plant, enabling the management of a gigawatt-scale portfolio in the UK. The integration allows participation in wholesale markets and balancing services, including dynamic services and reactive power, contributing to grid stabilization. The project demonstrates the potential for large-scale storage to enhance flexibility in electricity markets and support decarbonization efforts while creating new revenue opportunities.
