      <description>Developers will design lithium-ion for 16 hours when a revenue floor is in prospect. Supernode runs at about four. Does the contract set the duration?</description>

      <description>Battery developers warn Ofgem’s 7.6 GW long-duration round could cut two-hour revenues by 13%. Constraint payments, a bigger bill, ran at £1.9bn.</description>

      <description>Behind the Scottish constraint, a battery may have three to five strong years; lenders want seven to ten. What kind of project fits that window?</description>

      <description>Britain’s 8.7 GW battery fleet holds 14.1 GWh, about an hour and a half at full output. Why storage duration, and a load at the node, matter.</description>

      <description>GB battery revenues hit £99k/MW a year in September, yet Norway’s oil fund says values are falling. Location, not chemistry, decided who won.</description>

      <description>This summer batteries offered the grid twice as much energy as last year; under 6% was dispatched. The case for giving storage a job of its own.</description>

      <description>€270m for 350 MW at Kilmarnock South, and Ofgem plans a fee to hold a connection queue place. What’s scarce now is grid access, not capital.</description>

      <description>90 GW of batteries built or queued against 29 GW needed by 2035, and soon a fee to stay in line. Why storage and compute behind a wind farm can build now.</description>
