Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR)
Short-Term Operating Reserve (STOR) is used by National Grid to manage unexpected imbalances between electricity supply and demand. When grid demand exceeds available generation, STOR provides a fast and flexible solution, with National Grid calling on assets to increase generation or reduce demand. STOR is especially important during peak periods or when unforeseen events cause system stress. Participation in STOR offers consistent revenue opportunities for flexible assets that can be dispatched with minimal notice.
