By Dieter Holger
BP PLC (BP.LN) said Monday that its strategic partner
Lightsource BP has become the first U.K. company to provide
reactive power from a solar plant at night.
Reactive power maintains voltage on the power line by reducing
or increasing levels, BP said.
Lightsource BP, a solar developer, completed a trial on Nov. 4
at one of its plants in East Sussex, BP said.
"We have proven that solar plants can play a larger role across
the electricity network--even at night," said Kareen Boutonnat,
chief operating officer at Lightsource BP.
