Quinbrook to Construct 350 MW Mallard Pass solar PV project in East Midlands

Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners (Quinbrook), has acquired the 350 MW Mallard Pass solar PV project located on the Rutland-Lincolnshire border in the East Midlands, England.

Mallard Pass is estimated to produce over 14 million MWh of renewable power over its lifespan and reduce CO2 emissions by 665,000 tonnes, equivalent to CO2 emissions from 738,691,906 pounds of coal burned. Quinbrook also aims to deliver a 71% biodiversity net gain at Mallard Pass, combining natural capital enhancement and creation initiatives and leveraging its experience from implementing a 67% biodiversity net gain at Cleve Hill.

Construction of Mallard Pass is expected to begin in 2026 with commencement of operations in 2028. Quinbrook and its affiliate, Private Energy Partners, will now proceed with detailed design, procurement and construction planning.
