I think they are now at about 85% of nowty's total capacity!

I plonked in ”BESS capacity in the UK?” as a search in Goggle. It says 4.6GW (end of ‘24) as first hit and a few hits later it says 3.4GW is operational, as at April this year.

Obviously there's a large discrepancy and maybe the truth lies somewhere between those reports.

Duration and typical SOC retained are important factors which could make a large difference to the GWh available.
