Anyone with land 1000 mts or less from National grid sub-station?

There thinking is the original well meaning aims of the scheme before it was hijacked by speculators. Many hospitals and businesses have standby diesel generators that are never used except for an annual test to see that it still works (OK slight exaggeration but you get my drift) Some bright spark decides a good idea to avoid blackouts to utilise this spare capacity when all else fails and you have a sensible policy utilizing a dirty temporary asset in time of the nations need.

This system is still in place and works well with existing gensets. The addition to it is that now those gensets can simply take over the baseload of the business/hospital etc where no export grid connection is available.
The diesel gensets should be load tested once a month, but they arent'. They are supposed to be maintained regularly, but they aren't and these two factors leads to greater emissions from a poorly maintained asset.

We have a substation about 30 m from a site with planning and a gas supply. If anyone wants to pick this up then PM me, it's not straightforward but I think it still has legs

I have land surrounding a substation powering the east coast main line railway.

Any options here?

It depends on the grid conenction available?
How much land is there?
What sort of agreement are you seeking? Do you want a simple land rental deal? Or a joint venture?
Do you have any renewable generation assets on site?

I have 200 acres next to it. No ideas just always thought it would be an ideal point to generate or store power into the grid.
No idea whether the rail electrification would suit or hinder any plans.
Nothing on site as it's bare land. A single solar roof at home.
