The ten-year PPA is the first between the two companies that has been closed to date. BSR’s solar facility will supply Axpo with all of its metered output, allowing Axpo to trade its clean photovoltaic energy on the UK wholesale market. The agreement also supports the UK government’s ambition to improve energy security by accelerating the generation of electricity from renewable sources.

For optimisation of the BESS, BSR has contracted Flexitricity to leverage a bespoke trading arrangement between Axpo and Flexitricity. This partnership facilitates accurate settlement between the boundary meter and the BESS asset meter, ensuring that no value is lost between the solar offtake and dynamic optimisation of the BESS.
