"The UK grid powers all of those lights, and it supplies, on average, 30 gigawatts of power. Average over the whole of last year. Around 15% of that is used by London. Averaging over the last year, 40% of the grid is powered by renewable energy sources. If you take those away, London would go dark. The biggest renewable, wind, is highly unpredictable, second by second."
"For us, that means using cloud technologies, but not only that, we use serverless managed services in the cloud and focus on what value we're adding on top of those services that we're using. In this session, I'll go through a quick introduction to energy markets and the business challenges that we're working with. I'll talk about how we address those challenges architecturally and how each architectural bit addresses one of those bits of the energy market challenge,"
The UK grid supplied an average of 30 gigawatts of power over the last year, with London consuming about 15% of that total. Around 40% of grid generation averaged from the last year came from renewable sources, with wind as the largest but highly unpredictable second-to-second. Maintaining stable supply requires supporting technology to handle variability and to prevent both shortages and surpluses. Kraken Technology, part of Octopus Energy, builds scalable, reliable systems using serverless managed cloud services that focus on value-added capabilities rather than reinventing infrastructure. Architectural components are designed to map to energy market challenges and to coordinate supply, demand, and grid stability.
