Briefing
This page is the whole story in one place: a three-minute film, the five environments we intend to prove first, the team behind it, and the models you can run against your own numbers. Share the link — nothing here needs a login.
The market, where the capital goes, the copy-and-paste build, why we stay lean, and the ladder up to licensing — closing on the principles we decide by.
Docks rebuilt at no cost, the power bill drops first, the revenue share starts in year three, and the four steps to get started.
Our goal is to select the five best sites that qualify for the programme, chosen on merit against our screen rather than named in advance. Each pilot is an environment, not an address: five different buyers, five different ways the same build gets paid for.
A single-owner harbour with tired shore power and no capital budget: lease, block on the pad, bidirectional pedestals and the first enrolled vessels.
What it proves: The whole model end to end — metered dispatch, host share and owner settlement in the environment most of the market sits in.
The same block under a public-private agreement, with the lease and exit doctrine adapted to a public landlord.
What it proves: The PPP template and the path to state and federal awards, so the second public site is an application rather than a campaign.
A yard with heavy off-season load and stored boats, where charging and demand relief matter more than slip count.
What it proves: The block earns year-round, not just in season — and storage customers are a fleet without a dock.
The bundled product sold as one system: orchestration layer, modular blocks and the solar scope under one guarantee.
What it proves: The government channel and the exclusive bundled sale, including resilience and prequalification.
The same modular setup inland, pedestals at the pads and a block behind one interconnection.
What it proves: The model is not marina-specific — the second vertical runs on the identical drawings and lease.
No site is named or committed here. The actual five come out of the qualification screen — utility capacity, slip or pad count and condition, host willingness, and a clean interconnection path.
Live model
Marina benefit model
Type in your own rates and slip count and watch the answer move — savings, per-slip figures and how much of the power bill it offsets.
Technology
The proprietary method
What the filing covers, where it stands today, and which part of it each pilot environment puts to work.
The hard questions
If the relationship does not work
The cure ladder, the buyout curve, and what happens if the site is sold, closes or changes hands.
Delivery
How a site is built
One hub block behind a single interconnection, dockside spokes, and the sequence from signature to energisation.
How we decide
The Ritchie Compass
The nine principles we decide by — written down, published, and the same on every site.
Public sector
Public and municipal sites
What a town, port authority or public landlord gets, and how the agreement adapts to a public owner.
Every competency the first five pilots need already sits on this list — site control and leases, permitting and delivery, the patent and the capital, and the management layer that makes the product licensable.

Tell us about the site and we will run it through the pilot screen — utility capacity, size and condition, ownership and a clean interconnection path. Applying commits nothing on either side.

Start a conversationSaid plainly: no block is energised yet, capital is raised against signed site control rather than committed in advance, and the patent application is pending, not granted. Figures on the linked models are indicative and are not an offer or a quote.
No GridLynQ block is energized yet. Every figure shown is a modelled profile of a candidate site's conditions — speculative, not measured, and not a quote or a guarantee of results.
