Egg Power, Liberty Global’s clean energy infrastructure investment arm, has acquired the project rights to the Grange solar energy farm in Suffolk from UK renewable energy developer PS Renewables. The deal, announced ahead of construction starting in early 2026, marks egg Power’s largest solar project to date and its third major UK scheme as it scales up to meet growing demand from data-driven industries.
Construction of the Grange solar farm, located outside Norwich, is scheduled to begin in January 2026, with commercial operations targeted for early 2027. Once online, the site will provide 70 MW of clean electricity, enough to power around 21,000 homes, supplying Liberty Global’s UK operating companies, affiliates and partners under long-term arrangements designed to cut energy costs and carbon emissions.
The project brings egg Power’s UK solar portfolio to three large sites: the 20 MW Rainsbrook project acquired in July 2025, the 52 MW Rag Lane solar farm purchased in November 2024 and currently under construction for a spring 2026 start-up, and now Grange at 70 MW. Together, these assets are expected to deliver around 140 MW of capacity and approximately 150 GWh of clean power annually by the end of 2026, supporting the surging energy needs of telecommunications and digital infrastructure operators as AI and other data-heavy applications expand.
Ilesh Patel, who leads egg Power at Liberty Global, described Grange as a milestone acquisition that advances the company’s goal of developing, owning and operating 1,000 MW of renewable energy projects by 2028 through corporate power purchase agreements. Patel also highlighted PS Renewables’ role in progressing the project to this stage.
In addition to decarbonising electricity supply, the projects are expected to deliver local benefits, including construction and operational jobs, opportunities for local suppliers and ecological enhancements such as native grassland and wildflower planting, hedgerow reinforcement and new habitat strips on site.
