Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has inked two long-term offtake agreements with Tesco and Shell, covering 100% of the solar power generation from its Cleve Hill Solar Park, a 373 MW solar and 150 MW battery storage project.
The project is due to commence operations next year.
“The offtake agreements secured with Tesco and Shell are a testament to this landmark renewables project for the U.K. and represent a significant milestone in delivering long-term inflation linked revenues for our investors, supporting new construction and jobs,” says Keith Gains, managing director and U.K. regional lead for Quinbrook.
“Cleve Hill has set new benchmarks for U.K. solar and helps Quinbrook further its efforts to support the U.K.’s decarbonization goals and energy independence through large-scale solar plus battery storage projects.”
Quinbrook’s 15-year PPA with Tesco is the largest solar corporate PPA executed in the U.K. to date, adds the company, and will account for 65% of the expected solar generation from Cleve Hill once operational.
Shell has signed a 10-year Route to Market agreement with Quinbrook to manage 100% of the capacity that was secured by Quinbrook under a 15-year Contract for Difference in 2022 as part of the U.K.’s Allocation Round 4, equivalent to 35% of the expected solar generation from Cleve Hill.
Cleve Hill was granted development consent in 2020 by the U.K. Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.

Social democracies are nations in which the tax base provides everyone with healthcare and education, and where the richest and most powerful people are not free to ruin the environment.
I run into someone from one of these counties a couple of times a month, and I like to ask why their people are consistently at the top of the World Happiness Rankings. The normal response is always some variant of the following:
It’s hard to be happy living in a society that is indifferent to the suffering of others. It’s part of the very nature of human beings to care about one another.
Something else I notice about these places is that very few people are religious. Sweden, e.g., is about 80% atheist.
That means no childish tribalism, no ridiculous dogmas, no worries about eternal damnation, etc.

There are so many tragic aspects to life in today’s United States that it’s hard to name them all.
For my money, one of the saddest elements to the American zeitgeist is its glorification of ignorance.
Up until recently, if you wanted to know what science believes about anthropology, climate change, or particle physics, you asked a scientist in the relevant discipline, who not only has a college degree, but normally a ton of education on top of that.
Now, you ask a congressional Republican, preferably, an evangelical Christian.
