Talk:National Grid (UK) reserve service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Actually the correct name is Frequency Response and Standing Reserve.
I think the two articles should be kept together as they are intimatly related...
Info from UK National Grid:
David,
The latest STOR market report has data on how much reserve we procured in the first tender round can be found via the link below. For the first two seasons of this year there was just over 2 GW of accepted tenders with roughly two thirds from large generators (BM units) and a third from the demand side (non BM (NBM)) providers. The non-BM consisting of both back up generation and sites which can reduce their electricity demand (e.g. water pumping)

On frequency response the total demand side load is of the order 500-550MW. The link below is to the frequency tender report for June. Figure 9 shows the level of contracted secondary response, with base level around the 550 mark, being the contracted demand side sites
