Energy and grid infrastructure. Independent research on who holds connection capacity in Great Britain, who ends up owning consented projects, and whether connections reform is changing either.
Background
Twelve years in energy and grid infrastructure sit inside a longer career in manufacturing, logistics and engineering services. Solar origination and co-development, high-voltage connections, private wire and independent connection provider work on one side; container and module manufacture, specialised product design and distribution on the other. Profit and loss accountability was held in every operating role from 2001 to 2022.
The research published here uses one method throughout. Named sources, snapshots dated to the day they were published, predictions written down before the resolution window opens, and corrections issued in public where a figure moves.

Ownership concentration in the consented solar and storage pipeline
A three-article series built on a fifteen-project study covering approximately 8,800 MW of consented capacity, with ownership chains traced through Companies House persons-with-significant-control filings. The named developer proved materially misleading for at least ten of the fifteen projects examined.
