THE SHIFT

Cities are electrifying.
Infrastructure hasn’t caught up.

Urban environments are changing fast.
Buildings are electrifying. Transport is shifting. Energy systems are decentralising. Infrastructure is becoming more complex — and more critical.
But most urban energy systems still operate the same way they always have:

As density increases, these inefficiencies compound.

The problem is no longer infrastructure.
The problem is how it is operated.

Assets Deployed in Isolation

Limited coordination across systems.

Systems Managed Reactively

Manual processes and delayed response.

Infrastructure Underutilised

Stranded capacity and idle assets.

Value Left
Unrealised

Inefficiencies compound.

A NEW MODEL

Infrastructure is no longer enough. Intelligence is required.

The New Urban Grid introduces a new operating model for urban energy.
It brings together:
  • battery energy storage
  • solar PV generation
  • EV charging infrastructure
  • metering and data systems
  • GridIQ-powered orchestration
Instead of static infrastructure, energy becomes:
  • dynamic
  • sresponsive
  • continuously optimised
This is the shift from installation to orchestration.

One system. All connected.

Unified visibility and seamless coordination.

Smarter decisions. Greater value.

Al-driven optimisation across the network.

Lower emissions.Higher performance.

Efficient energy use for a sustainable future.

More resilient.
Future ready.

Built to adapt, built to scale.

WHERE IT APPLIES

Built for density.
Designed for scale.

The New Urban Grid is purpose-built for the environments where energy complexity and value are highest:
This enables:
  • high-density, multi-occupancy buildings
  • commercial and industrial facilities
  • mixed-use and precinct-scale developments
  • embedded energy networks and portfolios
  • energy-intensive assets
These environments require coordinated system-level control — not isolated asset management.

LOWER COST

Reduce energy spend through active optimisation and demand management.

BETTER PERFORMANCE

Improve system efficiency, reliability and asset utilisation.

NEW REVENUE

Unlock value from stored energy, flexibility and system participation.

FUTURE-READY INFRASTRUCTURE

Create a platform that can adapt to new technologies, markets and regulatory models.

HOW YOU ENGAGE
Commercial Models

How projects are structured and funded.

We support a range of commercial models to align with different investment and ownership strategies:

CapEx (Customer-Owned)

Full ownership of infrastructure with performance optimisation delivered through GridIQ.

Lease-To-Own

Structured financing that enables ownership over time while delivering immediate operational benefits.

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Energy supplied under a long-term agreement, reducing upfront capital requirements.

Battery-As-A-Service (BaaS)

Battery infrastructure deployed with no upfront capital, with costs aligned to usage and performance.

Energy-As-A-Service (EaaS)

A fully managed solution where XECO delivers energy outcomes as a service.

GridIQ Subscription

Ongoing access to the GridIQ platform-enabling optimisation,orchestration and performance improvement across assets and portfolios.

This flexible model ensures that The New Urban Grid can be deployed across a wide range of projects – from single assets to large-scale portfolios – without being constrained by capital or ownership structures.

HOW WE DELIVER

A structured pathway from
opportunity to scale.

The New Urban Grid is delivered through a proven, structured approach designed to reduce risk, validate value and scale with confidence.

ASSESS

Understand the opportunity

We evaluate site conditions, energy usage, tariffs and infrastructure to identify optimisation and value potential.

Pilot

Prove the model

Targeted deployment at a site or subset of assets to validate performance, economics and operational integration.

Deploy

Implement at scale

Full system rollout across the site, precinct or portfolio – integrating infrastructure and GridIQ orchestration.

Optimise

Continuously improve performance

AI-driven optimisation improves outcomes over time – across cost, efficiency and system behaviour.

Scale

Expand across assets and portfolios

Extend the model across additional sites and portfolios – compounding value through coordinated optimisation.

This approach ensures that every deployment is commercially grounded, operationally proven and designed for long-term scalability.

WHO IT IS FOR

For those building and operating the next generation of cities.

The New Urban Grid is designed for:
  • developers and asset owners
  • infrastructure operators
  • embedded network providers
  • institutional investors
  • energy and technology partners
For these stakeholders, success is not measured by installation — but by performance, control and long-term value.
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT

Most systems connect assets.
This coordinates them.

The New Urban Grid is designed to align with your capital structure, ownership model and operational requirements.
We provide flexibility across both delivery and commercial structure, enabling projects to be deployed and scaled in a way that works for you.
It is the difference between managing energy and operating an intelligent energy network.
POWERED BY GRIDIQ™

The intelligence behind the system.

GridIQ™ is the AI engine that enables The New Urban Grid to perform.
It provides:
  • Real-time forecasting and optimisation
  • Coordination across assets, sites and portfolios
  • Integration with building systems, metering and external platforms
  • Scalable intelligence across complex environments
This allows infrastructure to operate as a unified,intelligent system.
