Most site searches start with a map and hope a substation is nearby. We start at the grid — screening where connection capacity is most likely to reopen — then originate the land around it, off-market and owner-direct.
Under Connections Reform, battery capacity is rationed by zone and the pipeline already runs far ahead of the 2030 allowance. The room that opens up comes from positions that stall — accepted projects that quietly miss their connection dates. We find those first.
Every GB grid supply point, ranked for where stalled capacity is most likely to clear — overlaid with its Clean Power 2030 zone position.
A developer picks the regions and zones that fit their build strategy. That selection is the cue — we don't chase substations the whole market can already see.
We approach owners directly, off-market, and return parcels with engagement already underway — not a shortlist you'd have to work yourself.
We work with battery developers and with landowners. The terms are built so the interests line up: the developer engages us, the landowner pays nothing.
Tell us the regions, zones, or GSP profiles that match your build strategy. We screen where headroom is likeliest to reopen and originate land around it.
If you hold land close to a grid substation, it may suit a battery storage project — a quiet, long-term arrangement that sits alongside how the land is used today.
An introducer only works if every side trusts the room they're in. The way we're set up makes that simple.
Our fee is met by the developer, at the point a site option is signed.
We don't advertise sites or run public campaigns. Origination is direct and discreet.
Site detail is shared only once an agreement is in place — protecting owner and developer alike.
Milestone or flat — clear at the outset, so there are no surprises later.
Whether you're a developer with a region in mind or a landowner near a substation, start with a short message.
