The Money Behind the Meter: Valuing BTM BESS in Great Britain
SSL Storage Theatre
- GB has some of the highest electricity costs in Europe, making BTM optimisation increasingly important for C&I customers.
- BTM is more complex to value than front-of-meter storage - the economics depend on the load, connection, tariffs, other flex assets onsite and available revenue streams.
- BTM BESS can do more than arbitrage a tariff: it can unlock new revenues and potentially defer costly network reinforcement at the same site changing the charging strategy as required across the year
- P442 and P415 are opening up additional value streams for BTM assets.
- So, what is a BTM battery actually worth?
- We’ve modelled a broad range of BTM projects in Gridcog, across different load profiles and customer archetypes, comparing simple optimisation with full-stack optimisation.
- Results:
- Energy bill savings / indicative IRR
- £/MW/year across different site archetypes
- Value uplift from moving beyond simple tariff/network arbitrage to full-stack optimisation

How to Sell Batteries with PPAs in the UK
After 18 months working with PPA providers across the UK, one thing is clear:the companies leading on p/kWh price alone are losing AND leaving value on the table.Energy price volatility is pushing C&I customers toward energy independence — and behind-the-meter solar and battery systems are the most compelling way to deliver it. But if you’re still focused on p/kWh, you’re selling yourself short. We’ll show you how to sell on value, structure PPAs that actually work for everyone, and explore why batteries have fundamentally changed the equation.
