One decision layer
Locate. Price. Underwrite.
Three questions decide whether a grid asset deserves more time and capital. GridOptic answers them on one comparable evidence base.
What can flexibility earn?
Benchmark the local going rate with GO-LFI and build an explicit revenue range.
How bankable is the answer?
See sources, timestamps, assumptions and confidence before the number enters a model.
The platform
Real product. Real evidence.
Move between the benchmark, the network and the asset case without losing the source trail.
GO-LFI / Price
The going rate for local flexibility.
Benchmark GO-LFI (GridOptic Local Flexibility Index) £/MW/yr by market, location and year from published contract evidence — every value carries price and utilisation confidence.

Evidence is a product feature
Confidence belongs beside the number.
Nothing on GridOptic claims more certainty than the data supports.

Built around the decision-maker
One market picture. Different capital decisions.
Developers
Build the right pipeline
Locate viable sites and price their flexibility case before development spend.
InvestorsInterrogate the case
Benchmark assumptions and expose confidence before capital approval.
Asset ownersFind portfolio upside
Match operating assets to local markets and prioritise commercial action.
VPP & DSRActivate the right markets
Match flexible capacity from virtual power plant (VPP) and demand-side response (DSR) assets to evidenced local need and value.
Site ownersUnderstand site value
Start developer conversations with local grid and market evidence.
UtilitiesBenchmark the market
Compare public procurement and dispatch evidence across GB networks.
Credibility without theatre
The proof is in the data and the method.
GB distribution + system context
GridOptic connects published distribution network operator (DNO) data with NESO (the national energy system operator) context to make local opportunities comparable.
Auditable methodology
Definitions, confidence logic and caveats are explicit. The benchmark can be challenged rather than merely trusted.

Questions before access
Evidence first. No false promises.
What is GO-LFI?
The GridOptic Local Flexibility Index (GO-LFI) is an evidence-rated £/MW/yr benchmark derived from published flexibility procurement and market records. It is designed to show the going rate without overstating certainty.
Is a GridOptic forecast a revenue guarantee?
No. It is an indicative, evidence-rated range. GridOptic makes the assumptions and confidence visible so teams can use the result proportionately in screening and underwriting.
What data does GridOptic use?
Published data from all six GB distribution network operator (DNO) ownership groups and NESO (the national energy system operator), including network capacity, connection registers, future energy scenarios (DFES), tenders, contracts and dispatch evidence where available.
How fresh is the data?
Each dataset retains its source publication date. GridOptic updates as source publishers release new files, rather than presenting one misleading universal freshness claim.
Who is GridOptic for?
Asset-side developers, infrastructure investors, asset owners, virtual power plant (VPP) and demand-side response (DSR) operators, site owners and utility teams making location, revenue and portfolio decisions.
