On 16 October 2024, Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners (Quinbrook) announced two long-term offtake agreements with Tesco and Shell covering 100% of the solar power generation from its Cleve Hill Solar Park.
The project won planning permission, despite massive opposition, on the basis it would power more than 100,000 homes.
But Tesco has bought 65% of output, saying the move will help it cut emissions by powering up to 144 of its supermarkets.
Shell will manage the remaining 35% as it buys up sources of renewable electricity to power its growing network of EV charging stations.
