The UK is expecting to ensure security of power supply during the upcoming winter due to the new power interconnector with Denmark, new gas-fired power plants and more batteries, National Grid ESO said on Thursday.

  • "Our initial assessment of the winter ahead indicates that we will have sufficient margins throughout the period," Kayte O'Neill, ESO's COO, said.
  • ESO said its base case for de-rated margin is currently at 5.6 GW, or 9.4% of capacity, for winter 2024/25, up from 4.4GW, or 7.4% of capacity, last winter.
  • "Global energy markets are showing signs of stability, but uncertainties remain and therefore as a prudent system operator we remain vigilant, continuing to monitor potential risks and working closely with our partners to establish any actions necessary to build resilience," O'Neill said.
