Grid Feasibility and Site Finding

A good feasibility study should tell you whether a site is worth pursuing before you spend heavily on land, planning, and connection work.

RenSolv helps developers screen grid capacity, compare connection routes, and understand the technical and commercial issues that can slow a project down.

When this is useful

  • You are assessing a new solar, wind, BESS, hybrid, or large demand site.
  • You have an existing connection and want to add generation, storage, or new load.
  • You need to compare several points of connection before submitting an application.
  • You want an independent view before committing more budget.

What RenSolv checks

  • Available capacity and likely network constraints.
  • Connection voltage, route, and substation options.
  • High-level connection cost and programme risk.
  • Existing connection agreements and headroom where relevant.
  • Questions to take into DNO or transmission engagement.

How we work

  • We start with the site, technology, size, and target energisation date.
  • We review public data, network information, and any client documents available.
  • We prepare a short options view showing the most credible route forward.
  • Where useful, we support DNO discussions and turn the findings into a clear application strategy.

Why clients ask for this early

It prevents weak sites from absorbing time and budget.

It gives investment teams a clearer view of grid risk.

It helps planning, land, and grid decisions move in the same direction.
