Why we built it
The information needed to follow the UK energy transition already exists. It lives in planning portals, in the Renewable Energy Planning Database, in National Energy System Operator queues, in DNO Embedded Capacity Registers, in obscure council documents and press releases. Each of these sources is public — but spread across dozens of formats, schedules and websites that change without notice.
Suppliers, consultants, developers, land teams, analysts and policy researchers spend days a week reassembling this picture by hand. GridAtlas does that work once, for everyone, in one place. The map and project pages stay free forever. Affordable monitoring plans add alerts, exports and saved searches for teams that need to follow the pipeline closely.
How we work
- Sourced. Every project record links to its primary sources. Where data conflicts, we flag the confidence level rather than picking a winner.
- Dated. Project history is permanent — we never overwrite or delete past records. When a status changes from scoping to submitted, we record when, where we saw it, and what changed.
- Public-first. The public map, project pages, developer pages and region pages stay free. Paid plans add tooling for people who need monitoring and exports, not basic access.
- UK-only, for now. We focus on the UK pipeline because the public-data picture is unusually rich here and the energy transition is moving fast. We may expand later.
Who's behind it
GridAtlas is built and operated by Avalore Ltd, a small UK company. We're independent, self-funded, and have no exclusive relationships with developers, DNOs or government bodies. That means we have no incentive to favour any project, technology or region over another — just to keep the picture accurate and useful.
