Areas we cover

We install commercial battery storage and business backup power across mainland Britain. Coverage below is grouped by DNO region, because the distribution network operator is who your G99 application goes to and where any grid constraint shows up.

Where your site sits matters for three practical reasons. First, the DNO sets the G99 connection timescale, which runs from about eight weeks to twelve months and is usually the critical path on a battery project. Second, your DUoS band and available-capacity (kVA) charges vary by region, and those charges are exactly what a battery shaves. Third, some networks are capacity constrained, which is often the reason a business installs storage at all: a behind-the-meter battery lets you draw more during peaks without paying for a reinforcement. We size every system from your half-hourly data, so the modelled saving reflects your region's charges rather than a national average.

Commercial battery storage in the East Midlands

DNO: National Grid Electricity Distribution (East Midlands)

Our strongest region for commercial storage enquiries. Heavy distribution and logistics demand along the M1 corridor, where peak demand charges and grid capacity limits bite hardest.

We also cover Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Mansfield, Newark, Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby and Daventry.

Commercial battery storage in the Thames Valley & Oxfordshire

DNO: Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN, Southern)

Science, data and R&D loads with high, steady demand, plus a distribution belt around Milton Keynes. Several parts of the network are capacity constrained, so storage is often the route around a costly reinforcement.

We also cover Witney, Abingdon-on-Thames, Didcot, Henley-on-Thames, Bicester, Banbury, Aylesbury and the Harwell and Begbroke science campuses.

Commercial battery storage in the East of England & Essex

DNO: UK Power Networks (Eastern)

Strong demand from food production, cold storage, logistics and life sciences. UK Power Networks operates one of the busiest connection queues in the country, which makes behind-the-meter storage particularly valuable here.

We also cover Essex including Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend-on-Sea, Basildon and Harlow, plus Hertfordshire, Suffolk and Bedfordshire.

Commercial battery storage in the London & the South East

DNO: UK Power Networks (London and South Eastern)

Dense commercial property, constrained networks and high non-commodity charges. Peak-shaving and available-capacity reduction usually drive the business case.

We also cover Surrey including Guildford, Sussex including Chichester, Brighton and Eastbourne, plus Kent and Hampshire.

Commercial battery storage in the Yorkshire & the North East

DNO: Northern Powergrid

Advanced manufacturing, steel and process industry with energy-intensive, spiky demand profiles that suit peak-shaving and load shifting.

We also cover South Yorkshire including Rotherham and Barnsley, West Yorkshire, the Humber and Teesside.

Commercial battery storage in the North West

DNO: Electricity North West

Large logistics and warehousing estates with significant refrigeration and materials-handling loads.

We also cover Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire, Warrington and Chorley.

Commercial battery storage in the West Midlands

DNO: National Grid Electricity Distribution (West Midlands)

Automotive supply chain and metal processing, where demand spikes and grid headroom both matter.

We also cover the Black Country, Solihull, Telford and Staffordshire.

Commercial battery storage in the South West

DNO: National Grid Electricity Distribution (South West and South Wales)

A high concentration of existing commercial solar, which makes solar-plus-storage retrofits the most common project here.

We also cover Somerset, Devon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.

Commercial battery storage in the South Wales

DNO: National Grid Electricity Distribution (South Wales)

Public-sector and industrial decarbonisation demand, supported by Welsh Government net zero targets that flow down through procurement.

We also cover Caerphilly, Newport, Bridgend, Barry, Pontypridd and the South Wales valleys.

Not on the list?

The pages above are the areas where we hold the most local grid and demand data, but we deliver commercial battery storage across mainland Britain. If your site is somewhere else, the process is identical: send a year of half-hourly data, and we model the system size, the value streams and an honest payback for your specific tariff and DUoS band. If storage does not stack up for your site, we will tell you.
