21 Oct 2023 · BUSTB-1
EDF confirms the official opening and go-live of its 50 MW Bustleholme battery at the transmission substation. BUSTB-1 is the sole mapped unit. This uses the dated confirmation rather than inferring a commissioning day from the operator’s September wording. The 52.2 MW registry reference remains separate.

Operator capacity source

Whole-site registered total: 52.2 MW, including retired units.

Registered capacity is the value retained in the committed BM-unit source snapshot. “Not retained” means the registry no longer supplied a positive figure; it does not mean the unit historically had no capacity. If a unit with a retirement event publishes a non-zero live declaration, the live declaration keeps it in the operating fleet pending review.
