Navigating secondary trading in the GB Capacity Market
The Capacity Market plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability of electricity supply. For businesses that missed the prequalification window or missed out on securing capacity obligations in the latest auctions, there’s good news: secondary trading of obligations.
A second chance at capacity
One of the lesser-known advantages of the Capacity Market is that businesses can get paid for running under capacity. This means that even if your business isn’t operating at full capacity, you can still receive payments. GridBeyond facilitates this process, making it easy for businesses to maximise their revenue streams without additional obligations.
If your business failed to acquire capacity in the latest auction, GridBeyond offers a solution. We have access to over 200MW of capacity, providing an opportunity for those without an obligation to still participate. By engaging in secondary trading, your business can secure the capacity it needs, ensuring that you’re part of the market and can benefit from its financial rewards.
Maximise embedded generation
For businesses with embedded generation capacity, there is potential to significantly benefit from the Capacity Market. By running your embedded generation capacity list against the market list of generators, GridBeyond can help identify opportunities to aggregate small loads. This aggregation can then be brought under the Capacity Market umbrella, ensuring that every bit of available capacity is utilised and rewarded.
