Host a block
Lease us the ground. We fund, build, own and run the system on it.
GridLynQ puts a prefabricated battery block and a bidirectional shore-power upgrade on your dock at our cost. You keep the property, you keep your slip business, and you earn from a modernized electrical service you never had to pay to build.

What the host gets
You provide the site. We fund, build, own and stand behind the system.
GridLynQ does not sell equipment and walk away. We finance and install the system on the ground we energize, we operate it, and we carry full responsibility for battery performance and replacement. Agreement structure and commercial terms are walked through privately during your site assessment.
We fund and build it
GridLynQ pays for the equipment, the interconnection and the electrical work. There is no capital ask, no borrowing and no line item in your budget.
You earn from day one
The footprint we energize earns for the property from the moment the system is live, alongside a modernized electrical service you did not have to pay to build.
Performance is our obligation
GridLynQ stands behind battery performance against contracted capacity and availability targets. If a block underperforms, we make it right — not the host.
Replacement is our cost
Every cell, inverter and control system is ours to monitor, maintain and replace at end of life. Zero capital calls, zero disposal liability for the host.
Battery performance, safety monitoring, warranty administration and end-of-life replacement and recycling sit with GridLynQ. Agreement length, renewal structure and the rest of the commercial terms are reviewed with you directly, under confidentiality.

Line by line, who pays for what
There is no hidden line here. Every piece of hardware, permitting and labour on this list is carried by GridLynQ. What the marina contributes is the ground, the access and the records we need to file.
| Item | Marina pays | GridLynQ pays |
|---|---|---|
| Battery block and containers | Nothing | GridLynQ funds, owns and insures the block |
| Bidirectional shore-power upgrade | Nothing | Pedestals, feeders and metering paid and installed by us |
| Service entrance and interconnection | Nothing | Utility application, engineering and upgrade carried by us |
| Permits, engineering and inspection | Site access and records | Filed, paid and chased by our team |
| Maintenance, monitoring and warranty | Nothing | Ours for the life of the agreement |
| Cell replacement and end-of-life removal | Nothing | Our cost, our liability, our disposal |
| The ground the block sits on | Leased to GridLynQ | Paid for under the host lease |
Figures below are our standard host terms at steady-state dispatch. Your own numbers are confirmed against your service size and slip count at the site assessment.
The numbers
What one block puts on your books
A block is a 5 MW / 20 MWh turnkey build we fund in full, with no capital from the marina at any point. From year 3 you earn a fixed share of everything it sells into the market, for the whole term.
The build cost per block, the revenue-share percentage, the volume pricing across several marinas and our own management fee are commercially sensitive, so we don't publish them. Ask us for a private terms link — you sign a short mutual non-disclosure agreement on the page and the full rate card opens straight away.
The lease
A 20-year host lease, with three 20-year renewals
25 years, then three renewals
The initial term runs 25 years, with three further 20-year renewal options. A century of tenure on a pad you keep title to.
A share of gross, from year three
You earn a fixed share of the block's gross dispatch sales, starting in year 3 once the site is commissioned, settled off revenue-grade meters you can read line by line. The rate is in the private terms pack.
Slip discounts you can advertise
At least half of what an enrolled boat earns passes back through its dock bill, so your slip holders see the benefit and your slips stay full.
Performance is our obligation
We stand behind contracted capacity and availability. An underperforming block is our problem to fix, never a capital call on the marina.
How it happens
From first call to a block on the ground
- Step 1
Introductory call
Twenty minutes on your slip count, your service size and what your power bill looks like today.
- Step 2
Site assessment
We walk the dock, read the service entrance and the pedestal runs, and confirm where a block can physically sit.
- Step 3
Terms on the table
We put the lease, the 7% share and the block schedule in front of you and your counsel, priced to your site.
- Step 4
Lease signed, block scheduled
Once signed, we file the interconnection, order the block and give you a build calendar for your season.
Questions
What owners ask us first
- Do I have to spend anything?
- No. There is no capital ask and no financing on the marina's balance sheet. You lease us the ground; we pay for everything that lands on it.
- How much space does a block need?
- A 5 MW prefab block sits on a prepared pad roughly the footprint of a few parking spaces, sited away from your slip revenue wherever possible.
- What happens to my slip holders?
- Nothing they don't opt into. Boats with a battery bank can enroll and earn against their dock bill; boats that don't simply get modernized shore power.
- Who owns the equipment?
- GridLynQ owns and operates it for the life of the agreement, including replacement and removal at end of life.
- Can I host more than one marina?
- Yes. Multi-site owners are our preferred hosts — we plan the rollout across your properties as one program.
- What if I sell the marina?
- The lease runs with the land and transfers to the buyer, which most buyers read as a long-dated income stream attached to the property.
