We model a single price for bids and offers across GB. However, BESS revenues depend on the specific location of the site. That's because the amount of energy that we expect the ESO control room to need from an asset to balance the system often depends on where it is, and so how often it gets called on.

Forecasts of bid and offer prices are available in our Power Price package, and BESS revenues in the BM are available in the BESS revenue package.
