Chief executive Simon Daniel says Moixa’s GridShare aggregator will allow it to sell grid services and insure small suppliers against price spikes – and he has a financing model

Moixa chief executive Simon Daniel says using domestic batteries to provide demand response and grid services is not blue-sky thinking. He wants to deploy 1GW of aggregated capacity, via the company’s GridShare platform, by 2020. He says the UK is the perfect place: “Europe has a domestic-driven peak so capacity prices and margins are geared around the winter peak.”
