Quantum Data Energy PLC (LSE:MAST), a UK-based flexible power generation company, has announced that its 100% owned Pyebridge 8.1 MW flexible generation asset delivered record electricity generation and revenues in January 2026. The update also provides progress on the company’s third flexible generation project, Bordersley 5 MW, as QDE advances toward financial close and construction.

Pyebridge Achieves Record Output and Revenue

The Pyebridge facility achieved a new record for electricity generation in a single calendar month, producing approximately 1.8 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) in January 2026. Over the 12-month rolling period ending January 2026, Pyebridge generated and sold around 11.6 GWh, representing an increase of 64% compared with the previous 12-month period.

Revenue performance has been notable, with Pyebridge delivering average total revenues of roughly GBP 290,000 per MW per year over the past 12 months. Electricity was sold at an average price of GBP 127/MWh during this period, outperforming the average wholesale market price by around 62%. Operational hours also demonstrate strong demand: the asset averaged 11 hours per day across the 12-month period and reached 18 hours per day during January 2026.

Progress on Third Flexible Generation Project

QDE is advancing its third flexible generation project, the 5 MW Bordersley facility, in partnership with Power Balancing Services (PBS), which also collaborates with QDE on the Hindlip 7.5 MW project currently under construction. Discussions have reached an advanced stage regarding co-funding of the Bordersley project’s capital expenditure at the project SPV level.

Completion of the investment transaction is expected in the coming weeks, after which full construction of Bordersley will commence. QDE anticipates commissioning, commercial operations, and revenue generation for the project during Q4 2026, following the financial close.

Flexible Generation Market Momentum

The record performance of Pyebridge highlights ongoing demand for flexible power generation, particularly to complement intermittent renewable energy supply. QDE’s approach, combining operational assets with ongoing project development, underscores its business model of delivering responsive electricity generation and maximising revenue potential.

Quantum Data Energy’s January 2026 update demonstrates both operational excellence at Pyebridge and strategic advancement of its Bordersley project. With continued high output and revenue performance, alongside progress toward construction and income generation for new projects, QDE is positioned to expand its flexible generation portfolio through 2026.
