WORKSHOP: Negative prices, CfDs and batteries: the GB solar revenue case

​GB solar is growing fast, and so are the hours when prices go negative. Under AR4 and later, CfD solar earns no difference payment in any hour prices fall below zero. That changes how solar assets earn, when they switch off, and what a co-located battery is worth.

​If you're investing in, financing, building or operating GB solar, or adding a battery to a CfD site, come to this workshop to hear our view and test it with our team.

​We'll cover:

• ​GB solar buildout: our view on how much solar gets built, and how fast

• ​Negative prices: how they form, the subsidy stack behind the deepest dips, which days are driven by wind and which by solar, and where prices go from here

• ​CfD solar revenue: what CfD generators bidding at £0/MWh means for revenue under our low, central and high scenarios

• ​CfD solar at negative prices: how AR4+ assets respond when prices go below zero, and the role REGO income plays

• ​Co-location with a CfD: AC- and DC-coupled sites, and the metering rules that decide what the battery can do

• ​Live forecast demo: our methodology for building a solar profile for your site, or using one you upload, then a co-located CfD solar forecast run live on the Terminal with Ko

• ​Your call: tell us what solar research we should do next

​The morning will include:

• ​Presentation + Q&A (1 hour)

• ​Networking + Refreshments (1 hour)
