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.
