(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers among London Main Market small-caps on Friday.

SMALL-CAP - WINNERS

Gore Street Energy Storage Fund PLC, up 5.4% at 56.50 pence, 12-month range 53.22p-93.30p. The London-based investor in utility-scale energy storage projects says that its California-based Big Rock asset has secured a resource adequacy contract with Goldman Sachs Group Ltd. The twelve-year, USD14 million agreement is with Goldman Sachs subsidiary J Aron & Co LLC, and is set to begin in the summer of 2025. The contract is stackable, which the company said would allow for concurrent revenue streams across wholesale trading and ancillary services. Gore Street Energy acquired the 200 megawatt Big Rock asset in February 2023. It remains on track to be energised by December this year. Gore Street Energy says the contract will "significantly enhance" the group's total revenue generation.
