Quantum Data Energy PLC on Tuesday said its Pyebridge flexible generation asset delivered record electricity output and revenues in 2025, driven by strong demand for dispatchable power amid intermittent renewable supply. Quantum shares closed down 8.6% at 4.02 pence in London on Tuesday. The reserve power generation plants developer said its wholly owned 8.1 megawatt Pyebridge asset generated and sold around 10.8 gigawatt hours of electricity during the 2025 calendar year, up about 71% from the prior year. Total revenue from the asset rose by roughly 136% year-on-year to around £1.6 million, marking the highest annual income Pyebridge has achieved to date. Quantum said the increase reflected both higher utilisation and stronger realised power prices. In December alone, Pyebridge produced approximately 1.6 gigawatt hours of electricity, its highest monthly output on record. Over the full year, the asset operated for an average of 11 hours per day, highlighting sustained demand for flexible generation capacity when the UK grid is constrained. Quantum said the average electricity sales price achieved during 2025 was about £135 per megawatt hour, outperforming the average wholesale power price by roughly 67%. Average production during the year was about 5.6 megawatts, equating to revenue of roughly £291,000 per megawatt per annum. Chief Executive Pieter Krugel said: ‘We are very proud of the 2025 full year results that we achieved with our Pyebridge asset, which represent record high electricity generation and revenues. The results underscore the successful outcome of the refurbishment programme at Pyebridge, as well as the ongoing strong demand for flexible generation power amid intermittent renewable supply. ‘QDE’s core business model is to generate and supply flexible power at a premium when the national grid is constrained, and that business model is clearly working very well.’ Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
