About West Burton B battery
West Burton B battery is a battery storage site at West Burton power station in Nottinghamshire. It began operating in June 2018.
Elexon registers its 2 balancing mechanism units at 62 MW in all, but TotalEnergies gives it 49 MW, and that is the capacity this page uses. Every half hour each unit tells the grid how much it will generate (its physical notification): that is the live figure above, and GridMonkey records it every half hour for the chart.
Battery stations charge when power is cheap and plentiful and discharge at the peaks, in seconds. Their output swings between charging and discharging through the day.
