There is a need to rethink how grid connections are managed to boost the UK’s supply of renewable power. Writing for Utility Week Nick Provost, commercial manager at Balance Power, argues that before money is pumped into expanding and creating new connections, the sector needs to look at how efficiently current connections are being used. Provost investigates where there is untapped potential in the current system, and suggests how this could be exploited to allow more renewable power to be exported to the grid more quickly and at a lower cost.
