Stinsy,
Thats a very interesting way of doing it.
If i assume your PV produced 500kwh in the period and you exported 800kwh then your batts exported 300kwh. ie c 10kwh/day.
Thats some achievment.

Planning consent was awarded to BESS projects totalling 1,590MW/3,179MWh of capacity last month, meaning the UK now has a total of around 55.4GW/117GWh approved.

I think they were banking on their larger cylindrical batt bringing down costs but that seems to have big production probs.

Mart,
Presumably the original turbines could not pump and thats why they need to fit a new turbine ? Otherwise perhaps it is as simple as you imply.

Thanks, good news.

Has SSE finally committed to Coire Glas yet - it always seems to be next year.

or £1 when you substitute it for consumption on standard tariffs. TAX FREE and inflation proof !

And for those who think pay back is meaningful for me its less than every 2 yrs and better than OAP and any other investment.

That’s not what they’re saying - zero carbon generation in 2025 not net zero. https://www.neso.energy/document/141031/download#:~:text=Our%20ambition%20is%20that%2C%20by,meet%20the%20total%20national%20load. Dan you are quite correct in being able to run zero CO2 by 2025 if only for short periods. ...

Neso stated that they will be in a position to run NET zero by 2025. They have in effect already shown this is possible as for eg this morning we were exporting more than the gas was producing and that is whilst curtailing 4+ GW of wind. There are a number of records i think being broken like yester...

I dont think your CO2 experience is reliable for much. It will very much depend on wind strength and direction. Let us know how you get on with the test. Are you an all electric house .

I am having trouble finding that on the maps. You are talking about near Winchester ? Perhaps the Tesla only at the service/sales Tesla outlet in Winchester. ?
