BP PLC (BP.LN) said Monday that it 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, the solar developer unit of the British energy
company, completed a trial on Nov. 4 at one of its solar 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.
