Quote first on battery storage planning applications

You receive every application where a battery energy storage system is the subject, or a named part, of the proposal. That covers standalone grid-scale sites, storage added to solar and wind farms, and batteries at commercial and industrial premises. You set the keywords, so you decide how wide the net goes.

Standalone grid storage sites bring the biggest packages

A full application for a standalone BESS on farmland or brownfield land next to a substation is a complete build: access roads, compounds, concrete bases, container or cabinet installation, cabling to the grid, security fencing, CCTV, acoustic barriers, drainage and planting. Every trade on that list has a contract to win.

Co-located storage puts a second contract on a renewable site

Solar and wind schemes add batteries to store what they generate. When storage appears in the description of a renewable energy application, the developer needs civils, electrical and equipment partners for the storage element too.

Commercial and industrial batteries mean faster jobs

Factories, distribution centres, farms and vehicle charging hubs apply for on-site storage. These are quicker builds that suit regional installers and electrical contractors who want steady work close to home.

Variations, conditions and extensions keep the work flowing

Applications to vary conditions, discharge conditions, extend a site or raise its capacity all land in your inbox. A discharge of conditions application tells you a consented scheme is heading to construction. A variation tells you the design is changing and the supplier list is open again. Screening and scoping requests show you the largest projects at their earliest point.

The firms that win battery storage work are the ones that see the application first and act on it the same week.

Civil and groundworks contractors win the site build

You read the site address and layout, price the access road, compounds and bases, and call the agent before the developer appoints a principal contractor.

Electrical and high-voltage contractors win the connection

You see the substation, the cable route and the capacity in the description. You approach the applicant with a programme for the grid connection and commissioning, and you become the name on their delivery plan.

Manufacturers and suppliers win the specification

Battery, inverter, transformer, enclosure, fencing and fire suppression suppliers reach the applicant while the equipment list is still being written. Get your product into the design and you never face a price-only tender for it later.

Architects and consultants win the next appointment

Planning consultants, landscape architects, ecologists, acoustic engineers, fire engineers, flood risk specialists and transport consultants watch new schemes and refusals. A scheme that needs more reports, a resubmission or an appeal needs you, and you are the first expert the developer hears from.

Builders and landscapers win the conditions work

Planting schemes, screening bunds, drainage and boundary works sit in the planning conditions. When the discharge application arrives, you know the job is live and you know exactly who to call.

Leads emails you every new application that matches your keywords, the day the council publishes it, in one email a day. You choose nationwide coverage or up to 5 areas, each a radius of up to 75 miles from a postcode or town, or a whole council. Your morning email holds every new battery scheme in your patch, ready to work before your first coffee is cold.

Every lead gives you what you need to make the call

• The planning reference, site address and council
• The description of the work and the application type
• Key dates and the decision status
• A link to the council's own record
• The applicant, the agent firm and a business contact wherever the council publishes them

Track every lead from first call to signed contract

Your lead pipeline records who you contacted, who you quoted and what you won, so nothing slips and your team works from one list. Leads also includes everything in Research, so you search 2.3 million planning applications and filter past battery schemes by council, applicant or status to find the developers worth knowing.

One price for the whole country

Leads costs £49 + VAT a month. A single battery storage contract pays for it many times over, and every scheme you reach first is a client your competitors never met.

Watching your own area? Alerts are free

Anyone can get free email alerts for planning applications near an address, postcode, town or council. Landowners, neighbours and parish councils see exactly what is proposed on their doorstep the moment it is published.
