Why this matters now

  • 01

    Energy security is strategic

    The UK needs accelerated domestic renewable generation to reduce reliance on volatile global markets.

  • 02

    Climate risk is project risk

    Better climate data and site intelligence dramatically improve project economics and execution.

  • 03

    Technology can unlock scale

    Hardware and software platforms will reshape how renewable developments are identified, financed, and operated.

Accelerating clean energy through data, domain expertise, and deep tech

ZombieGrid is a stealth-mode startup developing a new approach to renewable energy development. We bring together decades of experience in offshore wind, climate science, and technology to identify, evaluate, and deliver high-quality clean energy projects.

We are currently part of the Carbon 13 Venture Builder programme, where we are validating our model and building towards our first funding round.

We believe the next wave of renewable growth will be won by teams that can combine rigorous climate and site intelligence with world-class execution and modern software platforms.
