Project structuring, feasibility and technical advisory for solar, wind and hydro generation, battery energy storage, micro-grids and mini-grids for underserved communities, and demand-side management — including full-lifecycle streetlighting retrofit programmes.
Gridline structures the project and provides the technical authority — feasibility, owner’s engineering, transaction support — while EPC partners carry out construction.
What Gridline delivers
Typical engagement
Generation engagements range from a single feasibility study for a ministry to owner’s-engineer roles on IPP projects through financial close and commissioning. Mini-grid work is structured as a portfolio: sites are surveyed, ranked and contracted in batches, with Gridline holding technical acceptance at each gate.
DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT · FLAGSHIP PROGRAMME
Under demand-side management, Gridline develops streetlighting retrofit programmes as one structured undertaking — from the investment-grade audit that makes the savings bankable, through design, installation, and long-term operation and maintenance, to the financing that pays for it out of the energy the retrofit saves.
Luminaire-by-luminaire inventory, metered baseline consumption and a savings model rigorous enough for a lender to underwrite — not an estimate, a bankable baseline.
Photometric design, luminaire and controls specification, and retrofit sequencing engineered to the road classes and switching infrastructure the network already has.
Executed by qualified contracting partners under Gridline’s technical direction, with every retrofitted point verified against the audit inventory before acceptance.
Performance monitoring against the audited baseline, scheduled maintenance regimes and fault response — so the savings persist for the life of the programme, not just the first year.
Structured by Gridline so verified energy savings service the investment — ESCO-style and savings-backed structures that let municipalities and utilities retrofit without upfront capital.
