Frequency response is reshaping GB battery cycling

GB battery cycling is splitting in two. One-hour systems now cycle around 0.6 times a day, down from 1.0, while two-hour batteries hold near 1.0 and re-trade heavily between frequency response and wholesale — on a grid that spends ever more time away from 50 Hz.

Cycling your battery more than once a day improves project economics in the NEM

Battery cycling is central to project economics in the NEM. Most assets have historically targeted one cycle per day because it aligns with warranties, but this leaves value on the table when market conditions support additional cycling. Higher cycling lifts revenues but also accelerates degradation, making the trade-off between early returns and long-term performance a critical factor in determining the value a battery can deliver.
