Delayed Grid Connection
When the grid can’t keep up with your build, our mobile battery system can. We can help bridge the gap between site works finishing and permanent power arriving – quietly, cleanly, and without waiting on the network operator’s timeline. Whether it’s a connection delay, being stuck in a network augmentation queue, or a metering hold-up, we get you commissioned, trading and/or occupying your new premises on the date you actually need.

FAQs
What kinds of buildings / premises can you power?
We can and have supported all kinds of applications through grid connection delays, including fast-food restaurants, retail precincts, housing developments, schools, commercial offices, gyms, service stations and medical centres. We provide reliable, clean and quiet power to the premises while the builder/developer awaits their permanent connection date. More broadly, our BESS are used across construction, civil, manufacturing, grid support and tourism applications. If your project or application isn’t in this list, get in touch and we’ll assess it with you.
Is this just backup power, or can it run the whole site?
Our BESS are built to run full site loads – through construction, commissioning and full-scale operations / tenancy. The size of the unit or the setup may change depending on the loads and also what we’re using to charge the BESS. We will complete a full analysis up front and tell you what size unit you need and whether a BESS is right for you.
How do you charge the battery? Do we need our own generator, or do you supply everything?
We can charge from a small mains supply and/or a generator, as well as solar, depending on the set-up on site and the loads. We will work through this with you and determine the best solution for the job. If a generator is needed, we can supply a full turnkey solution – generator and BESS together; or at times, we can integrate our battery systems with a generator you already have on site. If we’re working in with your generator or your preferred supplier, we will have a minimum set of requirements the generator needs to come with, which we can discuss with you in advance.
How long does your BESS system stay on site?
For as long as you need it! Generally, we have a three-month minimum hire term on our larger BESS systems as they are in high demand – this is typically the shortest time a grid delay is for. If your requirement is shorter, we will consider it and will always endeavour to be flexible. In general, we can scale to suit projects of different sizes – from bridging a delayed connection for a few months to supporting a build for its full duration.
How quickly can your unit be on site?
Lead time will depend on equipment availability, along with site readiness – when this lines up, we can mobilise very quickly. Our team will discuss all the details with you thoroughly to ensure your needs align with what’s possible in the timeframe. Contact us here.
