What is the value of co-located battery energy storage in ERCOT?
Co-located battery energy storage systems can help to mitigate the opportunity costs associated with curtailment. Curtailment occurs when a generation resource is instructed to turn down, derate, or shut off entirely - because there is an excess of power on the grid. With a co-located battery energy storage system, this lost output can instead
