Re:Europe's deepest mine to become giant gravity battery by danans on Thursday February 08, 2024 @12:28PM (#39304799)
Even in the US, I'd bet that few entities bid into the ancillary services markets at only 100kW because the economics don't add up when you are using batteries (due to high fixed costs).

However, having the lower minimum has the advantage of allowing smaller firms to participate (i.e. companies controlling 100s of electric water heaters), instead of just massive utilities.
