Using the latest GSD – GSD2024 – we take the opportunity to reflect on FCAS enablement and how enabled levels are changing between technology types.
Drawing from our freshly released GSD2024, Dan provides some deeper insights into curtailment in the NEM, beyond the headline totals that were a topic of much online discussion earlier this week.
