GridOptic exists for one purpose: to give asset-side operators — battery and BESS developers, VPP and DSR operators, utilities, infrastructure investors — the evidence they need to decide where to build and what to bid. The DNOs are the data source, not the customer.
The evidence needed to make asset decisions is published, but scattered across six distribution network operators and NESO in inconsistent formats, definitions and cadences. It is rarely used properly because assembling it is too costly.
We normalise published data to a shared schema, record source metadata where available, and grade the strength of each figure. Record-level provenance varies by dataset. Where evidence cannot support a number, we withhold it. Refusing to print a number you cannot defend is the position.
Great Britain only. Northern Ireland (NIE) operates a separate electricity market with no equivalent flexibility procurement registers. Stating the edge of coverage is itself a statement of discipline.
Independent and founder-led. Incorporated in England & Wales in July 2026, company number 17350559. Pre-commercial: access is by invitation while the first cohort is onboarded.

Every figure below is computed from the live coverage source and rounded down. Stored records include all six GB distribution groups and NESO datasets. Coverage, field completeness and dates vary by DNO; record counts are not a complete asset inventory.
GridOptic records dataset refresh dates and source metadata where available. Record-level source and publication detail varies by dataset. Where evidence is weak, confidence falls; where a number cannot be supported, we do not manufacture one. See each publisher portal and our methodology for the limits of the available evidence.

GridOptic develops software that turns published grid and market data into decision-grade intelligence for the owners, operators and investors of flexible energy assets.
We combine data engineering, domain knowledge and transparent methodology to keep source evidence visible and confidence explicit. We do not make unsupported revenue claims or invent customers.

Founder & CEO
Jonathan spent a decade inside UK energy policy and regulation — Whitehall, KiWi Power, ESP Utilities Group — watching grid connection data stay scattered, stale, and locked behind bureaucracy.
He's advised Government Ministers and Boards, and knows exactly how the DNOs and the regulators actually work. GridOptic is the tool he wished existed: real grid data, actually usable.
