UK-headquartered Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners acquired the 350 MW Mallard Pass solar PV project. The project is located on the Rutland-Lincolnshire border in England. It is classified as a nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP). This follows Quinbrook’s Cleve Hill Solar, which was in its final construction stages. Construction for Mallard Pass was scheduled to begin in 2026. Operations were expected to commence in 2028. Quinbrook leveraged its experience from Cleve Hill. Cleve Hill secured a Contract for Difference in 2022. It later signed a corporate PPA with Tesco. Mallard Pass was expected to generate over 14 million MWh of renewable power over its lifespan. It aimed to reduce CO2 emissions by 665,000 tonnes. Preliminary estimates suggested it could support over 2,000 jobs. It was expected to contribute GBP 124 million to the local economy. Quinbrook planned to implement a 71% biodiversity net gain at Mallard Pass. It drew from its experience achieving a 67% gain at Cleve Hill.
