How GB batteries earned revenues in 2024: a guide to operational strategies

Executive Summary - Battery revenues and operations:

  • Battery energy storage revenues in Great Britain (GB) averaged £50k/MW/year in 2024, but the highest-earning systems earned 50% more than this.
  • 2024 was split into three ‘phases’ - low wholesale spreads in the first quarter, six months where revenues and wind correlated, and a period of wholesale price spikes at the end of the year.
  • Batteries used a range of strategies and services, like Dynamic Regulation and wholesale trading, depending on their duration, size and location.
