About Gridcap

Gridcap Engineering Ltd was founded with a single, clear objective: to accelerate the deployment of Low Carbon Technologies (LCT) across the UK by removing the friction from DNO grid connections.

The Connection Bottleneck

As the UK transitions to commercial EV fleets, industrial heat pumps, and battery storage, the physical limitations of the national grid have become the primary bottleneck. Electrical contractors and property managers frequently face 30+ day wait times for manual DNO engineering reviews, only to have their applications rejected due to theoretical overloads or improperly documented Active Load Management (ALM) strategies.

Historically, proving to a DNO that a site can safely manage its peak demand required expensive bespoke engineering consultations or rolling the dice on a standard ENA application.

Our Solution

Gridcap digitizes and automates the rigorous mathematical modeling required by ENA EREC G100. We provide electrical professionals with a consultancy-grade engineering dossier in 60 seconds, allowing them to establish their Maximum Import Capacity (MIC), calculate After Diversity Maximum Demand (ADMD), and document their curtailment fail-safes before they ever submit an application.

By equipping installers with precise, DNO-ready compliance documentation, we eliminate the guesswork, minimize rejection rates, and help avoid unnecessary five-figure physical supply upgrades.

Built for the UK Grid

Our methodology is strictly aligned with the UK's Energy Networks Association (ENA) standards. Our assessments are applicable across all UK Distribution Network Operators, including UK Power Networks, SSEN, National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), SP Energy Networks, Northern Powergrid, and Electricity North West.
