Founded in 2024, UKEI is building a UK platform to develop battery energy storage (BESS) and grid-connected data centre infrastructure — the assets the UK needs as it scales renewables and digital demand together.
We do not yet operate generation sites. We are an early-stage developer, focused on securing land, grid connections and partnerships to bring projects forward.
Our strategy is simple: identify locations where grid capacity, planning and demand align, and develop battery storage and data centre projects alongside complementary energy infrastructure.

Centre Focus
Energy, infrastructure and capital markets professionals with deep expertise in acquiring and operating generation assets.
We move with speed and certainty — qualities that matter as much to sellers as to the investors who back us.
Building a multi-gigawatt platform across the UK and Europe, targeting assets where dispatchable generation and digital infrastructure demand converge.
A vertically integrated approach to UK energy infrastructure — from acquisition to optimisation to development.

UKEI acquires underutilised OCGT and CCGT power stations across the UK, with a focus on assets carrying existing transmission-level grid connections. Revenue is underpinned by tolling agreements, Capacity Market contracts and grid services including Black Start and STOR.

Beyond generation, UKEI maximises value from each asset through co-located battery storage, participation in National Grid balancing services, and profit-share arrangements. This multi-layered revenue model provides contracted downside protection alongside meaningful upside participation.

The grid connection is the binding constraint facing data centre operators in the UK today with waiting lists of 7–10 years. UKEI's portfolio of grid-connected sites positions us to deliver direct power solutions to the world's largest technology companies.
