Using EnergyPulse to unlock data-driven decision making in the UK renewables market

Engineering and Consultancy - bidding for onshore HV substation and cable connection packages

Amira Patel, Business Development Manager

With her company’s current onshore wind project nearing completion, Amira needed clarity on which UK projects were likely to enter construction between 2026 and 2028. Public sources offered fragments; none provided the consolidated view she needed to plan a proactive business development pipeline.

Using EnergyPulse, she filtered for consented and under-construction onshore wind projects across Scotland and northern England. Detailed project information revealed ownership, capacity, and forecasted project milestones—along with visibility on where grid connection contractors were not yet appointed or not known.

EnergyPulse identified the 120 MW Glenmoray Wind Farm as a prime opportunity. With accurate ownership information, Amira approached the developer early, positioning her team ahead of the tender.

The result? A new framework agreement and a stronger foothold in the UK onshore grid connection market. With EnergyPulse, Amira shifted from reactive tendering to targeted, data-led prospecting.

Offshore Wind Developer - preparing for a seabed leasing or CfD bid round

David Chen, Strategy & Market Intelligence Lead

As David’s company prepared for its next offshore bid round, David needed more than generic market reports. He needed to understand who was building what, which suppliers they were aligning with, and how market share was shifting over time.

With EnergyPulse, he mapped the entire UK offshore landscape—operational, consented, and pipeline projects—annotated with each by operator, developer, and EPC contractor. He exported capacity data to quantify market share and identify trends in joint ventures and supplier relationships.

The datasets revealed two competitors increasingly aligning with specific turbine and cable installation suppliers—clear signals of procurement preference that could impact future bid competitiveness. EnergyPulse also highlighted smaller developers gaining early momentum in floating wind.

These insights informed a strategic repositioning that helped his company refine its partnerships and differentiate its bid strategy in a crowded leasing round.

Fabrication firm- winning long-term onshore wind supply agreements

Sophie Gallagher, Supply Chain Development Manager

Sophie’s organisation needed to identify developers and EPC contractors still seeking suppliers for tower sections and foundation assemblies. But sourcing this information from scattered planning portals and filings was inefficient and unreliable.

EnergyPulse gave Sophie a unified view of the onshore wind supply chain, visualising which companies were active across planning, consented, and construction-stage projects. She filtered by project stage and geography to focus on those nearing procurement.

Crucially, she could see which projects had not yet appointed or not known to have appointed tower fabrication or logistics partners—clear entry points for outreach.

This intelligence informed a focused engagement plan across central Scotland and northern England. Within months, Sophie’s company was pre-qualified for two new frameworks and secured a long-term supply agreement.

With EnergyPulse, Sophie replaced time-consuming manual research with targeted, insight-driven supply chain outreach

Manufacturing company – forecasting future demand

Michael Sørensen, Senior Market Analyst

Preparing for a five-year strategy review, Michael needed to understand long-term trends: where capacity was growing, which regions were emerging, and how technology shifts—especially floating wind—would reshape infrastructure needs.

Using EnergyPulse’s historical and forward-looking datasets, he tracked a decade of capacity growth, mapped regional hotspots, and analysed project pipelines by technology type. The data revealed momentum behind floating wind.

These insights underpinned an investment recommendation to establish a component assembly facility in South Wales—positioning Michael’s organisation to meet rising demand in a future growth corridor.

With EnergyPulse, Michael used project-level data to anticipate market shifts and steer long-term capital investment
