Bankable, buildable renewable assets.

From feasibility to energisation, BESS, solar and EV charging are taken through design, procurement, build and commissioning without losing the commercial thread.

DISCUSS A PROJECT
  • Grid-scale BESS: feasibility, grid applications, design and delivery of utility-scale storage.
  • Solar: ground-mounted and utility-scale PV through commissioning and operation.
  • EV infrastructure: workplace, depot, fleet, public and multi-site charging.
  • Site commissioning: energisation, witness testing and handover documentation.

Governance that survives contact with site.

PMO as a service for owners and EPCs: controls, reporting and assurance that keep national programmes on schedule and inside their business case.

DISCUSS A PROGRAMME
  • PMO as a service: A standing project office with controls, RAID and reporting, without the headcount.
  • Governance and reporting: Stage gates, RAID discipline and reporting packs boards actually read.
  • Reporting and controls: Cost, schedule, risk and change control, reported without spin.
  • National rollouts: Multi-site programme delivery, from pilot through to steady state with one playbook.

Automation that pays its own way.

Practical AI and cloud systems for operators who value uptime over hype, deployed inside your existing stack and measured in hours saved.

SCOPE AN AUTOMATION
  • AI voice receptionist: Answers, qualifies and books calls around the clock. No hold music.
  • Automated workflows: Quote-to-invoice, snagging and compliance chasing, automated end to end.
  • Cloud systems: Microsoft 365, hosting, security and backup, kept patched and sane.
  • Custom applications: Field apps and client portals your teams actually use.

The right capability, around one table.

Forest Grove leads the project and brings in the right specialists. For funding readiness, capital strategy and introductions, we work with NICL, including established reach into Poland.

  • Funding readiness and financial modelling are delivered with NICL.
