Yottar Raises $1.2m to Digitize UK Grid Connection Process

UK-based startup Yottar has raised £1 million ($1.2 million) in pre-seed funding led by Haatch with participation from Cape Capital.

The company has developed a digital twin platform that aggregates grid data from distribution network operators (DNOs) and proprietary sources, enabling energy asset developers to identify viable grid connection points without upfront application fees.

Its system provides insights on spare capacity, connection likelihood, timelines, and reliable power availability. Current clients include The Crown Estate, Tesla, and the NHS, which is rolling out EV charging infrastructure. Yottar is initially focused on the UK market but is considering expansion to the US and other regions.
