OBJECTIVE

Evaluate the ‘carbon gap’ and the potential flexibility to accelerate the decarbonisation pathway. Collaboration with Energy Unlocked.

WHAT WE DID

• Carbon vs price analysis for different price utility price mechanisms.

• Storage use case and evaluation of carbon impacts for conditional discharge

• Industry engagement with innovators and energy users on how carbon is valued in business cases

RESULTS

• Strategy developed to deploy conditional battery discharge, responding to granular carbon intensity signals

• 3.5% additional carbon saving through battery conditional discharge, resulting in a 23.5% carbon reduction

• Modelling range of carbon prices to enable storage investment paybacks
