A charged battery is not enough to give you backup

The stored energy may still be there while the business sits in the dark. Backup depends on the whole path the energy takes to reach the loads, and that path has to be documented before financing.

Useful energy: where is it measured, and what goes into the account?

The energy that pays a battery project is not the figure on the label but what reaches the metering point after the PCS, the transformer, the cables and the auxiliaries, which never switch off.

The battery keeps 70% of its capacity. Is it still meeting your project?

What a capacity warranty actually measures, which use it allows, and why keeping a percentage is not the same as still delivering the service that justified the investment.

Are you thinking about augmentation the right way?

In the LRCAP 2026 augmentation is not just a cost per MWh: it is construction, logistics and scheduled unavailability that must be declared to the ONS a year ahead.

Efficiency is not capacity: two different questions

An auction threshold measures how much each cycle loses, not how much battery is left. Confusing them is expensive.
