GridStay FAQ
GridStay connects energy, infrastructure, and accommodation under one intelligent platform — designed for power-station executives who manage people, projects, and spend at scale.
Power Station Executives
1. Platform Overview
What is GridStay?
GridStay is a SaaS platform that simplifies how power-station executives and infrastructure leaders source, manage, and oversee workforce accommodation.
Unlike traditional housing providers, GridStay takes a top-down approach — integrating operational data, ESG insights, and workforce logistics into one unified system.
How does GridStay differ from standard accommodation providers?
Most providers focus on short-term housing supply. GridStay focuses on strategic readiness: forecasting demand, mapping workforce deployment, and aligning housing with planned maintenance, weather windows, and ESG objectives.

Executives, maintenance planners, and workforce-logistics teams in the energy and infrastructure sectors — including those overseeing renewable, fossil, and hybrid generation sites across all 14 UK fuel types.
2. Maintenance & Shutdown Planning
How does GridStay assist during plant maintenance or shutdowns?
The platform predicts workforce accommodation demand based on planned shutdown schedules, helping executives secure compliant housing near operational zones in advance — reducing downtime and last-minute costs.
Can GridStay integrate with existing maintenance planning systems?
Yes. GridStay connects with internal maintenance databases or third-party scheduling software, syncing workforce arrival and departure dates to align housing availability.
Does GridStay provide live visibility during critical shutdowns?
Yes. Executives can view occupancy levels, budget utilization, and contractor readiness in real time through the GridStay Boardroom Dashboard.
3. ESG & Sustainability
How does GridStay support ESG compliance?
GridStay tracks environmental and social impact metrics across your accommodation network — such as carbon footprint per stay, local supplier engagement, and social-value creation.
Can the platform help meet corporate sustainability targets?
By centralizing workforce housing, GridStay minimizes unnecessary travel, reduces energy waste, and promotes certified sustainable properties aligned with corporate ESG frameworks.
Does GridStay work with verified ESG partners?
Yes. We collaborate with councils, accredited landlords, and sustainability rating bodies to ensure all listed accommodation meets ESG benchmarks.
4. Data, Insights & Analytics
What kind of data does GridStay provide?
Executives gain visibility into occupancy, spend, supplier performance, and ESG metrics — with customizable dashboards and exportable reports for boardroom use.
Can I compare data across sites or projects?
Yes. GridStay enables cross-site analysis so leadership can identify trends, forecast costs, and optimize workforce deployment across the entire energy portfolio.

Does GridStay verify accommodation quality and compliance?
Yes. All accommodation partners undergo a multi-point compliance check covering safety, cleanliness, accessibility, and ESG readiness.

How is GridStay priced?
Pricing is tailored to organizational scale and integration needs. Enterprise packages are tiered based on number of sites, workforce size, and required data modules.
