Yeah it was a long day to say the least.

An exhaustive (and exhausting, judging by the look of @DavidEnergyNews this afternoon) summary of Ofgem's Targeted Charging Review update today. current-news.co.uk/news/ofge… To say the minded-to decision is unpopular would be an understatement.

Exciting visit yday to @Arsenal stadium to see a UK first in @_PivotPower @downingllp behind the meter battery. Will trade on wholesale market rather than deliver onsite benefits, culminating 3 years of hard work. Thanks to @Greenhouse_PR for the invite goo.gl/nnKpxr

#CapacityMarket pre-quals show massive fall in battery capacity seeking contracts, down 45% in T-4 and 59% in T-1 on last years'. De-rating and FoM revenues likely to blame, but some interesting projects coming through like 4 hour durations goo.gl/ah1sVb

Wowsers: ECJ has ruled the GB Capacity Mechanism falls fouls of state aid rules, following challenge by @tempusenergy. Government intends to reinstate the scheme, but as it stands GB cannot hold new auctions and cant make payments for previous auctions. current-news.co.uk/news/uk-c…

Planning for future after tariffs (maybe incl. export) key for UK solar as talk at @thesolartrade @RenewableUK event showed. Here's a blog on where to look & how some international comparisons can be unhelpful. Comments from @downingllp @hcwbatten (and me) goo.gl/6WkC6a

UK's 2nd subsidy free solar farm unveiled by @WSCCNews using battery storage to access multi revenues to support solar sales. Shows @thesolartrade was right to say local authorities are often 'leading the way' in #UK #solar goo.gl/wCUYxV

Energy trading to make up bulk of future battery revenues as flexibility takes hold of £6 billion opportunity to 2030. No arguments from @Limejump @Flexitricity & @AnescoLtd as @AuroraER_Oxford sets out its latest forecasts goo.gl/K46q13

In terms of launching a home battery that consumers will recognise, @Duracell may be on to a winner with the all too familiar design for its upcoming launch. Also flies in the face of the sleek design by the likes of @Tesla & @sonnenCommunity

This week I spoke to @wpduk Nigel Turvey and @energynetworks Randolph Brazier on the progress of the #OpenNetworksProject over 2018 covering #FutureWorlds, smart meters / data and 'flexibility first'. See part 2 of my blog here goo.gl/paUwHZ

Batteries from @Tesla & @AnescoLtd combine at @pdfoodservice to offer front-of-meter services. But with @SunGiftSolar installs, wind gen and demand, future will see more tech added with behind-the-meter biz models being considered goo.gl/ooszei

Pt 2: @SadiqKhan calls for two-year export tariff respite amid ‘deep concern’ over @beisgovuk plans in letter seen by @SolarPowerPort to @claireperrymp arguing plans would "undermine" @MayorofLondon efforts and create "a cliff edge for the solar market" goo.gl/mPWHqZ

Big news for #Anesco and @Limejump reported this week with entry of #batteryenergystorage into @nationalgriduk #BalancingMechanism but could be bigger new for solar-plus-storage as new revenue stream bumps biz case for subsidy-free developments goo.gl/Udmd6e

There's been a lot of talk recently about the rise of an 'energy as a service model' for consumers; here's my look at what has sparked off this model and what it could mean. Thanks to @openenergi @theADEuk @GoodEnergy @TheFaradayGrid for contributing goo.gl/4X7jKL

Happy to see @ofgem talking about 'flexible' #electricvehicles charging but is the tip of the iceberg if you read the full consultation out today on reforming access & charging arrangements. If not in the mood for 88 pages, you can catch up here instead goo.gl/YZ3X7f
