This registry provides comprehensive search capabilities across all Capacity Market components:
The search is intelligent and will try to determine what you're looking for based on your query.
You can combine search terms to narrow results, such as "London Battery" to find battery storage in London.
Searches are not case-sensitive, and partial matches are supported (e.g., "Manch" will find "Manchester").
The Capacity Market runs regular auctions where providers compete to secure agreements. There are two main types:
Each auction results in agreements that specify how much capacity providers must deliver and the payment they'll receive.
Auction years are displayed as badges (e.g., 2023-24) that you can click to view details for that specific auction year.
The Capacity Market ensures the UK has sufficient electricity supply during periods of high demand or system stress.
Providers receive payments for ensuring their capacity is available, creating a more stable and resilient electricity market.
Search results are grouped by location and show important details about each component:
Each result shows the component's capacity, location details, and participation in specific auction years.
You can sort results by relevance, location, or date using the sort options.
