Grid stability technology for the UK’s power network has entered operation on the Humber.
Operating without the need to generate electricity, technology has been deployed by Uniper and Siemens Energy at the former’s Killingholme power station site.
It will make the European energy major the UK’s biggest provider of inertia and voltage control - a vital balancing tool for National Grid to maintain the right frequency as renewables scale-up. Services are being provided under contract to 2026, with a second site to come online at Grain in Kent later this summer.
