Substation-led land origination

We find battery storage land by reading the grid first.

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.

01 How it works

The opportunity is in the grid before it's in the ground.

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.

STEP 01

Screen the grid

Every GB grid supply point, ranked for where stalled capacity is most likely to clear — overlaid with its Clean Power 2030 zone position.

STEP 02

Point the search

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.

STEP 03

Originate the land

We approach owners directly, off-market, and return parcels with engagement already underway — not a shortlist you'd have to work yourself.

02 Two ways in

Whether you lead with the grid or the ground.

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.

For developers

Sites that fit your pipeline

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.

  • Substation-led, distance-checked, screened for flood, designation and grid constraints
  • Off-market parcels with owner engagement already initiated
  • CP30 zone position and connection context on every site
  • Location held until terms are agreed — no leakage, no circumvention

For landowners

Land near a substation?

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.

  • You pay nothing — our fee is met by the developer, never the landowner
  • No obligation and no pressure — an exploratory conversation first
  • We handle the introduction, the screening and the developer side
  • Your details stay private until you choose to take it further

03 How we work

Quiet, transparent, aligned.

An introducer only works if every side trusts the room they're in. The way we're set up makes that simple.

01

The landowner pays nothing

Our fee is met by the developer, at the point a site option is signed.

02

Off-market by design

We don't advertise sites or run public campaigns. Origination is direct and discreet.

03

Location held until terms agree

Site detail is shared only once an agreement is in place — protecting owner and developer alike.

04

Fees fixed, never a percentage

Milestone or flat — clear at the outset, so there are no surprises later.
