See through the
grid chaos
UK grid intelligence for solar, wind, BESS and data centre developers.
Know exactly where the grid has capacity, how long the real queue is, and whether your project will connect before your PPA expires.
The UK grid queue is broken
863 GW is queued for connection — more than 10× the entire UK installed generation base. Most of it is speculative, half of it will never build, and connection dates slip every week.
The 863 GW UK queue is more than 10× installed UK generation. Most of it is noise.
Live count of NESO connection dates that have slipped in the past 24 months across UK GSPs.
Real Elexon BMRS constraint actions — the data BESS developers need to model revenue.
One platform, three perspectives
The same substation looks different to a solar developer, a BESS developer, and a data centre operator. GridLens shows you each story with weightings tuned to your business model.
Renewable Developers
Solar, wind, hybrid — see exactly which substations have real headroom and which are zombie-saturated.
BESS Developers
Battery storage projects need constraint events. We rank UK substations by real BMRS revenue potential.
Data Centres
Large-load infrastructure: see headroom availability and reinforcement cost estimates per site.
Trusted public data sources
Every substation location is cross-checked against the Distribution Network Operator that owns it — the ground-truth source for grid infrastructure.
