Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has added a 350MW solar project to its UK portfolio.
The specialist global infrastructure investment manager said it has acquired the Mallard Pass project located on the Rutland-Lincolnshire border in the East Midlands.
Construction of the 拢240m (鈧�288.5m) Mallard Pass project is expected to start in 2026, with operations set to commence in 2028.
The latest deal marks Quinbrook鈥檚 second nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP), following Cleve Hill Solar 鈥� the UK鈥檚 first NSIP project 鈥� which is now in its final stages of construction.
