Great Scott!
We care about electrical power
Once upon a time when controlling a 1MW battery we joked about managing 1.21 GW (equivalent to 600k homes!)
This week we flew past that milestone (at 88 mph, clearly 😀)

@DocBrownLloyd
Powercuts being reported across the country after a significant generation outage on the UK power network this afternoon caused a major frequency drop. Our assets responded within a second to bring frequency back up and restabilise the grid

Scenes at

We've finally found a type of energy Kraken can't manage 😉 Our team is all safe, and ready for Round 2 armed with more plushies (and bouncers).

@WMinsightUK
discussing new technologies that are shaping the transformation of the energy market in the UK. A really insightful morning!
Please join us at the next instalment of our seminar series in partnership with
@OfficialUoM
where Dr Jeff Hardy addresses the ideas around unleashing user-centric net-zero energy business models.
We are delighted to announce that we are partnering with Vertiv to create value for their customers and supporting sustainable energy solutions. Meet our CEO Devrim Celal at DatacenterDynamics in London on 5-6 Nov to find out more!
In the last month, with our project partners, we have won £4.7m funding from Innovate UK for three vehicle-to-grid projects. We need Analysts (Python, MatLab, Excel) and a Software Engineers (Java) to help us deliver them. More announcements coming soon!
Without innovation and growth, sectors get bogged down - and customers suffer, companies suffer and the planet suffers.
We’re here to change that. Being recognised as the leader in serving customers and embracing a greener future is an honour 🚀

@SquashedBox
@CleanAirLondon
@TimFilbert
is right, it's the other way around. There was a lack of generation on the grid to support the load at the time. That causes the frequency to dip and that causes powercuts.
We’re looking for someone who really cares about their craft to join us at Upside Energy Ltd to lead our Front End.

That is how we build resilience.
If, instead of relying on a few major generation points we share the burden across hundreds of thousands of generators, it no longer matters if one, two, or even a handful of generators fail in succession.
