Screen any site for power before you commit.

A first-pass read on whether a site can get the power it needs, built on a decade of grid modelling.

Screening pipelines across sectors

What You Avoid

Across Europe, grid constraints are redefining infrastructure deployment. Connection delays extend beyond 2030 in key markets. Queue reform is removing speculative projects. Reinforcement timelines remain uncertain.

visibility_off

Queue Blindness

Not knowing how competing demand at your substations is eroding your connection position before your DNO relationship surfaces it.

hourglass_disabled

Energisation Uncertainty

Projects delayed for years due to unrealistic grid assumptions.

currency_exchange

Mispriced Generation Decisions

Committing significant infrastructure capex without structured economic modelling across supply options.

blur_off

Reinforcement Exposure

Late discovery of upgrades that fundamentally change project economics.

We are not brokers. We do not speculate. We provide structured energy intelligence for infrastructure deployment.

How it works

Every screen returns a Site Intelligence Report

A single, readable answer for a site: a Grid Signal Index score, a map of the site and its nearest connection point, the headroom and queue there, and the screening flags worth a closer look. Enough to decide whether a site is worth a feasibility study, in seconds.

Site Intelligence Report Illustrative

Illustrative example. Your report reflects your own site.

The sample is your own site

There is no generic sample report. Every screen is specific to the site you enter: its location, its nearest connection point, its constraints. Screen your first site free, with the full report included, and see exactly this for somewhere you actually care about.

Built for originators moving at portfolio scale

Grid Signal is for land finders, developers, and investors who need a fast screening signal to evaluate hundreds of sites before committing deep feasibility capital.

Inside every screen

Your screen runs against eighteen national data layers

The moment you enter a site, the engine cross-references it against eighteen layers of UK grid data to return a viability read in seconds. Every layer refreshes monthly or as upstream data updates, so the screen reflects current network conditions, not last year's.

Seventeen data layers, weighted by a decade of grid modelling, produce the eighteenth: a single 0-100 Grid Signal Index you can compare across every site you screen.

The fast way to know before you spend

Originators have always had three ways to read a site's grid position. Grid Signal is the only one built for triage at the top of the funnel.

Hire a consultant

Thorough, but slow and costly

A feasibility study is the right tool once a site is shortlisted. It is the wrong tool for triaging twenty candidates: weeks of turnaround and a four-figure cost per site rule it out as a first-pass filter.

Read the raw data yourself

Free, but unstructured

DNO and ENA capacity data is public, but it is fragmented, inconsistent between regions, and slow to interpret. There is no single number you can compare across sites or hand to a colleague.

Screen with Grid Signal

Instant, structured, comparable

One 0-100 score per site, built from eighteen national data layers and a decade of grid modelling. Comparable across every site you look at, ready in seconds, and cheap enough to run across your whole pipeline.

From a free screen to full feasibility

Start with a free screen to decide whether a site is worth pursuing. When one is, the Grid Signal energy modelling team takes it through formal feasibility. Two products, one continuous workflow.

A screening signal, not a feasibility guarantee

The Grid Signal Index exists to help you prioritise sites and protect feasibility budget. It is deliberately a first-pass read, and we are clear about what it does and does not do.

What it is

  • check_circleA fast, comparable read on whether a site's grid position is worth pursuing
  • check_circleBuilt from national network data, refreshed monthly
  • check_circleA way to kill weak sites early and focus feasibility budget on the strong ones

What it isn't

  • removeA guarantee of available connection capacity
  • removeA substitute for formal DNO engagement or a feasibility study
  • removeA precise capacity figure for a specific connection date

When you need that level of confirmation, The Modelling takes a screened site through formal DNO engagement.

Methodology

Grid Signal Intelligence Stack™

The analytical framework underlying every Grid Signal product. Four layers of intelligence, applied in sequence to produce a defensible answer at every stage of an infrastructure decision.

Layer 01

Grid & Network Capacity

Live headroom data at the connection-point level, queue density indicators, and reinforcement exposure across the UK transmission and distribution network.

Layer 02

Connection & Queue Dynamics

Connection queue context for each constraint zone, ESO reform impact modelling, and project-by-project timing intelligence relevant to applications and offers.

Layer 03

Supply Strategy Modelling

PyPSA-driven scenario analysis comparing grid-only, private wire, hybrid, and storage-paired architectures against site-specific load profiles.

Layer 04

Deployment Decision Layer

Project viability scoring, capex and timeline risk indicators, and structured outputs designed for investment committee submissions and board approval.

Track your first site on the platform.

A 3-month pilot is available on every tier. We confirm your first tracked sites, configure your workspace, and set the right tier and seat count for your team.

Subscription pricing is confirmed at briefing.

Not a new model. A decade of it, made fast.

We package a decade of European Commission grid strategy, feasibility, and cost-benefit modelling at national scale into a rapid first-pass screen.

Grid Signal evaluates connection viability before capital is committed. Our site screening signals replace informal discussions and speculation with structured data. You get a fast, independent read on whether a site can connect.

We are not brokers. We do not speculate. We provide structured energy intelligence for infrastructure deployment.
