Power Equipment Market Intelligence

AI data center demand is now competing with industrial plants, utilities and energy developers for the same transformers, turbines, generators, switchgear and batteries. GridReadiness tracks who's buying, what's actually available, and how long it really takes — worldwide, not just in France.

Four ways to work with us, from a light recurring brief to full site-level audits. Start small, scale up once we've proven the fit.

FOUR TIERS. ONE DISCIPLINE.

Tier 01
Market Intelligence Brief
Monthly · Subscription

A recurring pulse on the equipment categories that matter to you — pricing trends, lead-time shifts, manufacturer capacity, who's buying. The low-risk entry point: no site visit, no long-term commitment, cancel anytime.

Delivery
Monthly brief, built around your equipment list and geography
Format
Written brief + optional monthly call

Covers

  • Lead-time tracking across transformers, turbines, generators, switchgear, batteries
  • Manufacturer capacity and allocation updates
  • Pricing trend signals by equipment category and region
  • Alerts on regulatory or supply shocks affecting your equipment list
Tier 02
Deep-Dive Report
2–3 weeks · Fixed fee

A focused, one-off analysis answering a specific question: what's driving up lead times on your equipment category, which manufacturers have real spare capacity, what a realistic procurement window looks like for your project or region.

Delivery
2–3 weeks from scope confirmation
Format
Written report + debrief call

Written deliverables include

  • Category or region-specific lead-time and pricing analysis
  • Manufacturer shortlist with real (not catalog) current capacity
  • Written verdict on procurement timing and risk
Tier 03
Site & Equipment Audit
Scoped per project

Field-level work for a specific project: securing an existing site's critical equipment, sizing a capacity extension, or scoping a new build. Delivered with our technical field partner, on-site where the documentation isn't enough on its own.

Delivery
Scoped per project, typically 4–8 weeks
On-site option
Xavier W. (30+ years plant maintenance & capex, ex-Saint-Gobain) · additional fee

Three project types we cover

  • Securing existing sites: on-site inventory + supplier contact for real current lead times on critical equipment
  • Capacity extension: energy and fluids capacity assessment against your growth plan
  • New implantation: site scoping, equipment lead times, and energy network capacity at candidate locations
Tier 04
France Site + Equipment Sourcing
Our flagship case study

Our original, most field-tested offer: grid-connected French brownfield site identification paired with European transformer sourcing (Pauwels, Efacec, TMC), for developers deploying capital in France before 2028.
