Quantum Data Energy (MAST) has reported a new record month for electricity generation and revenue at its 100% owned Pyebridge 8.1 MW flexible generation asset in the UK, alongside progress on bringing a third site to financial close and construction.
In January 2026, Pyebridge generated and sold around 1.8 gigawatt-hours, its highest output for any single calendar month to date. Meanwhile, over the rolling twelve months to January 2026, the asset generated and sold around 11.6 gigawatt-hours, up about 64% versus the comparable prior period.
The company said this performance translated into average total revenues of around £290,000 per MW in production per annum over the same rolling twelve-month period. In addition, Pyebridge achieved an average realised electricity sales price of around £127 per megawatt-hour, which Quantum said was about 62% ahead of the average wholesale market electricity price over that period.
Operationally, Pyebridge averaged electricity generation and sales for around 11 hours per day over the rolling twelve months, rising to around 18 hours per day during January 2026, reflecting what Quantum described as strong demand for flexible generation amid intermittent renewables.
Alongside Pyebridge, the Hindlip 7.5 MW project is funded in partnership with Powertree and remains in construction, with commissioning and commercial operations expected during Q2 2026.
Quantum said it is in advanced discussions with Power Balancing Services regarding co-funding capex for its 100% owned Bordersley 5 MW project at SPV level, with an investment transaction expected within the next few weeks and commercial operations targeted for Q4 2026.
Quantum Data Energy’s CEO Pieter Krügel said: "We are very proud of the ongoing sterling performance of our Pyebridge asset, having achieved another record high electricity generation and revenues for any single calendar month to date in January 2026. Pyebridge's ongoing excellent performance highlights the ongoing strong demand for flexible generation power and underscores QDE's core business model. Further, we are excited to progress our third flexgen project into construction, as we continue to build our portfolio of flexgen assets to 300 MW and beyond."

A record month at Pyebridge, plus strong utilisation in January, reinforces the commercial case for flexible generation while the grid leans more heavily on balancing capacity. Going forward, the near term focus is on delivering Hindlip into operations in Q2 2026 and getting Bordersley to financial close, with the co-funding structure and economics likely to be the key details the market will want next.
