Solutions / New build
New build
Design the energy system in from day one.
Plan your DC bus, storage, solar and charging alongside the building, and you can work with a smaller grid connection, cut running costs and scale without rework.
The challenge
Connection timelines
New connections may not match your build programme.
Over-sizing
Paying for capacity you only need at peak.
Future tenants
Unknown fleet and energy needs.
ESG requirements
Developers and occupiers expect low-carbon buildings.
How GridUnlock solves it
One system, designed for your site, owned end to end
Every layer comes from GridUnlock, so the battery, chargers and software are designed together and one partner is accountable for the result.
Capacity
More on the connection you have.
Cost
Lower peaks and bills.
Speed
Live in 6–8 weeks.
Future-proof
Modular, grows with you.
New build FAQs
When should we involve you?
As early as possible, ideally at design stage, so the electrical design and the connection application reflect the battery.
Can it reduce our grid connection size?
Often, yes, because the battery covers peaks. We confirm it for each site.
Do you work with developers and contractors?
Yes, as part of the design and build team.
Is it suitable for speculative builds?
Yes. The modular design scales to suit the eventual occupier.
Planning a new site?
Talk to an engineer at design stage and size the connection right first time.
