Poland · Battery storage · Grid connections

The grid connection outlives the power plant.

We develop battery storage projects next to retiring coal and gas power plants, in partnership with their owners, sharing the grid connection that is already there.

Insight

New projects wait years for grid access. Retiring plants already have it.

As coal and gas plants close, they leave behind industrial land and a high-capacity connection to the grid. That is exactly what new energy projects lack. We give it a second life.

Grid capacity is the new bottleneck of the energy transition.

Approach

Partnership, not acquisition.

We do not buy power plants. We lease land next to the plant, share its existing grid connection, and take the project from idea to ready-to-build.

  1. 01

    We lease land

    Land next to the plant, with shared use of its existing grid connection. The owner earns lease income and can become a co-owner.

  2. 02

    We develop

    Design, permits, grid studies, funding and financing.

  3. 03

    Ready to build

    A finished battery project, ready for construction and long-term operation.

Our core

Battery storage

Battery storage is our core. Built next to the plant and connected through its existing grid connection.

Possible later

Solar

Solar may be added later where the site allows, for example on ash deposits or industrial land.

Partners

Built together with those who own the sites.

Plant owners

Give your site a second life.

We lease land next to your plant and share its existing grid connection. You earn lease income and can become a co-owner of the project, while we carry the development.

Investors

Early access to new projects.

Battery storage projects in Poland, built next to plants that already have what most projects lack: a grid connection.
