egg Power acquires 49.9MW solar plant from PS Renewables

Liberty Global’s clean energy infrastructure investor egg Power has acquired the project rights for PS Renewables’ 49.9MW Grange solar power plant in Suffolk.

The solar acquisition is egg Power’s third in the UK and will add to a portfolio of clean energy generation that telecoms company Liberty Global—which owns brands including Virgin Media—will use across its operating portfolio in the UK.

Ilesh Patel, who leads egg Power at Liberty Global, explained that the investor develops, builds, owns and operates energy projects and services to its customers through corporate power purchase agreements (cPPAs).

Construction of the solar power plant will begin in January 2026 and begin operations in early 2027, Liberty Global said. 

Egg Power is part of the egg Group, which also includes egg Solutions, a commercial and residential clean energy solutions provider, and EV chargepoint company Believ.

The other projects egg Power acquired this year are the 13MW Rainsbrook solar PV power plant from Voltalia, taken on in July 2025, and Baywa r.e.’s 49.9MW Rag Lane solar plant, which is acquired at the start of the year. The latter project, located near Bristol, was egg Power’s first acquisition and is due to come online in spring 2026.

As 2025 comes to a close, we have seen a notable uptick in mergers and acquisitions, something that Solar Media Market Research analyst Josh Cornes attributed in part to the grid connection queue reform that was only completed this month.
