Stability Potential: stability services from below 132 kV.
An evidence base, a working model and a procurement-ready scorecard. Together they turn distributed plant below 132 kV into a qualified source of system strength and inertia for the transmission operator.

The biggest unmodelled stability resource sits below 132 kV.
System strength and inertia are bought almost entirely from synchronous plant on the transmission network. Below 132 kV, tens of gigawatts of distributed plant could provide these services but has never been qualified to.
Illustrative split of stability-capable capacity. The distributed band is the gap Stability Potential is built to close.
What each technology can offer.
Pick a technology to see how much of each service one unit can provide. Move the target to see how the whole fleet measures up.
Battery storage
Ramps active power in milliseconds, so it is the strongest fast-frequency and damping resource. Synthetic inertia and system strength depend on grid-forming control.
From potential to a service the operator can buy.
