Construction on the first sites is set to begin in 2026, 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 approximately 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.

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.

The UK achievement reflects Qair’s ability to convert opportunities into high-potential assets – an approach further validated by recent expansions, such as the acquisition of assets from ENO Energy in Germany, France, and Belgium, which strengthens the group’s position in the European onshore wind sector. With a 35 GW development pipeline diversified across geographies and technologies, Qair provide stakeholders with a robust platform combining local expertise with global scale.

Charles Lhermitte, COO at Qair, commented: “The CfD awards in the UK demonstrate our ability to execute our strategy and focus on delivering high-quality, long-term projects. As we continue to expand our portfolio, we remain focused on creating value for all stakeholders, by leveraging our technical expertise, financial discipline, and diversified asset base.”
