National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) has rolled out a software interface to allow newer and smaller players to participate in the balancing mechanism through “a more simple, cost-effective, web-based route”. The application programming interface – an intermediary that enables two different software applications to talk to each other – went live in the ESO’s national control room on Thursday. Tesla became the first party to take part.
