Qair awarded CfDs for 190 MWp of solar projects in the UK

Independent renewable energy company Qair announced the award of Contracts for Difference (CfDs) for 190 MWp of solar projects in the UK marking the start of its delivery phase in the country. Construction on the first sites is set to begin this year, with initial commissioning targeted for early 2027. This milestone underscores Qair’s ability to execute on its strategic acquisitions and transform opportunities into stable, long-term assets, reinforcing its position as a reliable partner for institutional and industrial stakeholders.

The projects, including Lark Hill (Essex) and Brecks (Nottinghamshire) are part of Qair’s c.1 GW advanced pipeline in the country. They benefit from the UK government’s CfD scheme, which guarantees 20-year revenue stability, and provides predictable, scalable opportunities for long-term value creation. Construction of the first sites will begin in 2026, with initial commissioning expected for early 2027.

Two years after acquiring Green Switch Capital (GSC), Qair is now delivering on its commitments, demonstrating its capacity to de-risk and accelerate project development in a competitive market. This achievement aligns with Qair’s broader strategy of building a resilient, diversified portfolio across geographies and technologies, underpinned by contractual stability and operational excellence.
