Our services

What do you need
to move forward?

We turn grid intelligence into practical work for developers, investors, lenders and advisers.

Choose the decision you are facing. We bring together the tools, judgement and deliverables it needs.

01 / How we help

Origination & site selection

Find the opportunities worth developing.

Where is a credible route to grid access?

Assess network headroom, queue attrition and reinforcement dependencies before committing development capital. Compare locations against the technology, scale and operating model you have in mind.

What you receive
  • Grid opportunity screening
  • Site or connection-point shortlist
  • Priority areas and next-step recommendations
The decision it supports

Where to originate, which sites to investigate and where to wait.

In practice / Case studiesFinding the grid opportunity before the site

Tools appliedQueue reconstruction + constraint analysis + commercial screening

02 / How we help

Development & connection strategy

Build the right project around the connection.

Does this connection work for the project we want to build?

Interpret the connection terms, test the queue and reinforcement case, and assess how restrictions affect the project. Compare capacity, storage duration, hybridisation or operating strategies against the actual constraint.

What you receive
  • Connection-offer and queue review
  • Curtailment and configuration assessment
  • Development options and recommended actions
The decision it supports

Whether to proceed, resize, redesign, renegotiate or pause.

A typical question

A project has an offer for non-firm access. The team needs to understand whether a different configuration would improve the commercial case.

Tools appliedConnection intelligence + curtailment modelling + operating and financial scenarios

03 / How we help

Investment & fundraising

Give capital providers a case they can interrogate.

What do investors and lenders need to get comfortable?

Connect grid assumptions to the revenue, return and financing case. Make the evidence and downside sensitivities clear for equity investors, lenders and investment committees.

What you receive
  • Grid-risk evidence for investor or lender materials
  • Revenue, valuation and debt-service sensitivities
  • Investment committee brief and question support
The decision it supports

How the project supports an investment or funding case, and which conditions or mitigants matter.

A typical question

A sponsor preparing a capital raise needs a clear account of non-firm grid exposure and how the investment case behaves under downside assumptions.

Tools appliedConnection scenarios + operating constraints + IRR, NPV and DSCR sensitivities

04 / How we help

Transaction & deal support

Understand what is being bought, sold and priced.

What should the grid position mean for the deal?

Prepare the grid evidence for sale or challenge it on acquisition. Bring queue dependencies, curtailment assumptions and valuation sensitivities into a shared view of the asset’s commercial position.

What you receive
  • Vendor report and data-room material
  • Bidder diligence and acquisition issues register
  • Pricing, valuation and committee support
The decision it supports

How to substantiate the asking price, assess a bid, seek protection or decide whether to proceed.

Portfolio prioritisation

Direct capital and effort to the right projects.

Which assets deserve the next pound of capital?

Compare sites on a consistent basis. Identify differences in constraint exposure, queue-ahead build-out, reinforcement reliance and configuration fit, and connect those differences to commercial priorities.

What you receive
  • Comparable grid-risk review across assets
  • Ranked opportunities and key sensitivities
  • Portfolio priorities and action plan
The decision it supports

Which projects to progress, defer, reshape or drop.

In practice / Case studiesTurning a varied pipeline into a capital priority list

Tools appliedConsistent queue and constraint cases + comparative financial sensitivities

06 / How we help

Investigations & dispute support

Resolve contested grid and valuation questions.

What does the evidence say about the grid position or claimed loss?

Investigate a curtailment estimate, connection condition or disputed sequence of events. Reconstruct historic queue and grid-access positions, test alternative outcomes and connect the technical evidence to revenue, valuation and loss assessment.

What you receive
  • Focused reviews and independent challenge
  • Technical and valuation evidence for expert-witness work
  • Counterfactual loss assessment and documented assumptions
The decision it supports

Which conclusions the evidence supports, what caused the financial exposure and what requires further investigation.

Tools appliedHistoric queue reconstruction + grid-access modelling + counterfactual valuation

Ways to work together

The right depth
for the decision.

The engagement can be a focused piece of analysis, a wider project assignment or ongoing senior support. The output and scope are agreed around what your team needs.

A specific issue

Targeted review

A focused investigation, second opinion or challenge of a connection, queue or curtailment assumption.

A defined assignment

Project or portfolio work

A scoped assessment, report or decision pack for a development, capital raise, transaction or portfolio review.

Ongoing expertise

Retained support

Fractional grid-commercial expertise for a developer, fund or platform, with direct senior involvement as decisions arise.

Who we work with

The decision depends
on your role.

Our work spans generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and large electricity users, including data centres.

Developers

Originate and shape a credible project.

Compare locations, connection offers and asset configurations before committing further development capital. Test queue attrition, reinforcement and the operating exposure behind the headline assessment.

Investors

A grid case that can be interrogated.

Translate network evidence into revenue and valuation sensitivities. Challenge acquisition assumptions, compare portfolios and prepare a traceable view for investment committee decisions.

Lenders

Grid exposure in the credit decision.

Understand how constrained access affects cash flow and debt-service cover. Test the assumptions behind downside cases and identify the mitigants or conditions that matter to a lending decision.

Advisers

Independent analysis for a live process.

Support vendor reports, bidder diligence and transaction challenge. Connect technical findings to the commercial questions, with the scope, permitted use and reliance agreed for the engagement.

Data centres

The economics of constrained demand.

Assess site options and flexible connection terms against the load profile, resilience arrangements and delivery timetable. Test how grid exposure affects operating costs, customer commitments and the investment case, alongside the project’s engineering and legal advisers.
