Grid connection-risk capital allocation engine

Price the fear in the connection queue.

£100bn+ of clean energy and data centre infrastructure sits stranded behind grid connection queues. QueueQuant turns queue-delay uncertainty into bankable capital decisions.

The problem

A pricing problem, not a mapping problem.

Mapping tools tell you where the grid is constrained. They can't tell you what to do about it. Under TMO4+, Gate 2, and monthly reissued assessments, the queue is a moving target — and deterministic studies price a single future that never arrives. Developers sign non-firm connections blind to curtailment, or over-build firm capacity they'll never use. Either way, capital freezes.

Regulatory

The moving target

Connection assessments are reissued on a rolling basis. Last month's optimal decision is this month's stranded capex.

Commercial

The curtailment blind spot

A fast non-firm connection can be curtailed 2% of the year — or 35%. Unpriced, that gap is the difference between a strong IRR and insolvency.

Engineering

The capex paradox

Self-build HV, private wire, and co-located BESS bypass the queue — but demand large, hard-to-reverse capital commitments made under deep uncertainty.

The platform

Decision intelligence, not another static report.

QueueQuant fuses machine-learning forecasting across price, curtailment, and queue-timing risk with multi-stage stochastic mixed-integer optimisation under full recourse.

01

Co-Optimised Capital Sizing

Solves MW capacity, BESS duration, private wire, contestable ICP works, and backup generation together — to structurally minimise stranded capex under queue uncertainty.

02

Downside Tail Protection (CVaR)

Quantifies the 1-in-20 downside, protecting investment committees from catastrophic delays and unpriced curtailment volatility.

03

Switching-Boundary Intelligence

Pinpoints the exact inflection points where queue slip or curtailment flips the optimal pathway between Gate 2, Non-Firm, private wire, and off-grid.

04

Quantified Decision Alpha (VSS)

Evaluates counterfactuals and regret surfaces to uncover the hidden option value that deterministic studies overlook.

How it works

Three stages, from raw uncertainty to a definitive call.

STAGE 01

Forecast

Multi-dimensional ML forecasting across price, curtailment, and queue-timing risk generates a probability-weighted scenario tree over the full asset horizon.

STAGE 02

Optimise

A multi-stage stochastic MIP solver co-optimises structural decisions today against operational recourse across every scenario — sizing, dispatch, and pathway.

STAGE 03

Decide

A Capex-versus-risk frontier, tail-risk metrics, and a single recommended pathway — recalculated whenever the network registers change.

Who it's built for

Institutional-grade answers for the capital at stake.

Demand

Data Centres & Industrial Loads

Compress energisation timelines with hybrid private wire, BESS, and flexible grid sizing — without over-committing capital.

Generation

Clean Energy IPPs & Storage Developers

Co-optimise BESS duration and de-risk Gate 2 versus Non-Firm connection offers with priced curtailment exposure.

Capital

Energy Transition & Infrastructure Funds

Institutional-grade tail-risk (CVaR) underwriting and portfolio valuation, ready for the investment committee.

18

years of specialised expertise in stochastic mixed-integer programming, machine-learning forecasting, and energy systems — the foundation QueueQuant is built on. We turn that depth into rigorous, repeatable decision-intelligence software for the connection queue.
