Q1 2026 Business Update:

QDE continues to execute on its strategic evolution from a UK-focused flexible
generation power operator to a modular, data-integrated power platform
addressing growing demand from digital and data-led infrastructure.

 

The Company recently completed its re-branding to Quantum Data Energy,
reflecting a clearer alignment between its existing flexible generation
capabilities and its longer-term strategic focus on power solutions for
data-intensive and infrastructure-led use cases. The re-brand is intended to
better communicate the Company's positioning, strategy and growth ambitions to
investors, partners and stakeholders.

 

The Company operates a diversified portfolio of flexible generation power
assets that contribute to grid stability and reserve power supply. These
include Pyebridge (8.1 MW) in Derbyshire, Bordesley (5 MW) in Birmingham,
Hindlip (7.5 MW) in Worcestershire, and Stather (2.4 MW) in Lincolnshire. This
portfolio of assets provide a stable foundation, supporting both system
resilience and the Company's broader development strategy.

 

Alongside the operation of its existing portfolio, Quantum Data Energy
continues to progress multiple growth pathways, including AI-focused
datacentre power supply, holiday park power deployments, brownfield
acquisitions and greenfield development. These initiatives are underpinned by
an expanded development pipeline of approximately 25 MW acquired in mid-2025.

 

The Company's interest in data-led infrastructure reflects the scale and pace
of growth in global electricity demand from datacentres. In 2024, datacentres
are estimated to have consumed approximately 415 terawatt-hours of electricity
globally, representing around 1.5% of total electricity demand. Industry
projections indicate this could rise materially by the end of the decade,
highlighting both a significant infrastructure challenge and a substantial
opportunity. In the UK, datacentres are already estimated to account for 1-2%
of national electricity demand, with grid connection backlogs increasingly
acting as a constraint on new development.

 

In this context, Quantum Data Energy is focused on identifying opportunities
to deploy reliable, flexible power solutions in situations where grid capacity
is constrained, supporting the continued growth of digital infrastructure
while maintaining alignment with the broader energy transition.

 

In parallel, the Company has made further progress in securing non-dilutive,
project-level funding to support up to c.40 MW of next-stage development and
acquisition opportunities. Work has also continued on proposals for a c.10 MW
combined heat and power (CHP) project at a major UK holiday park, reflecting
the Company's focus on scalable, repeatable and infrastructure-led power
solutions.

 

Looking ahead, Quantum Data Energy's strategy is focused on building a
flexible generation power platform of 300+ MW over time, with a longer-term
ambition to develop AI-focused power campuses at scale. The Company believes
this approach positions it to support structural growth in digital
infrastructure demand while maintaining capital discipline and a clear focus
on execution.
