# BESS Siting and Sizing Study

This report ranks candidate battery locations and sizes using grid-flow, curtailment, backup-dispatch and congestion-value KPIs.

## Interpretation note

The best BESS option is not always the largest one. The ranking combines renewable-dispatch gain, backup reduction, congestion-cost reduction, line-overload relief and emissions reduction.
