Flexitricity and Thrive Renewables have entered into an optimisation agreement for Thrive’s Feeder Road 20MW battery.
The battery will be monitored and dynamically optimised from Flexitricity’s 24/7 control room in Edinburgh. It will be traded across multiple markets, including frequency response, wholesale traded power, the Balancing Mechanism and emerging flexibility services.

Thrive Renewables has been building and operating renewable energy projects in the UK for 28 years and has built or funded 31 renewable energy projects from wind to hydro. Feeder Road is its second battery, following a 5MW site in Wicken, in 2020.
Flexitricity has a contracted virtual power plant of over 800MW and this agreement pushes the contracted portfolio of batteries to over 330MW.

Monika Paplaczyk, investment director at Thrive Renewables said: “Feeder Road is our second battery storage site and holds a special place in our hearts being based in our hometown. It is a great demonstration of Bristol’s place at the forefront of the UK energy transition.
“Feeder Road will enable further deployment of wind and solar generation and will help to provide the backbone of the resilient, renewables dominated electricity grid the country needs going forward.”
