Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has acquired the 350 MW Fortress Solar + Battery storage project, located in Kent, UK.
Once operational, the 350 MW Fortress project is expected to be the largest single-site solar PV installation in the UK and is more than three times the size of the UK’s next largest consented solar PV project. The addition of battery storage to large-scale solar generation at Fortress will provide critical support to improve security and reliability for the UK power grid and help continue the UK’s sustainable drive to Net-Zero. Quinbrook expects to commence construction of the project in the first half of 2022.
