The news comes as Virgin Media O2’s Vijay Chouhan is due to speak on the UK and Ireland PPA markets at the Renewables Procurement and Revenue Summit later this month.
May 1, 2026
Liberty Global portfolio companies egg Power and Virgin Media O2 have agreed a ten-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the 49.9MW Grange Solar Farm in Suffolk.
The solar plant, which is due to be operational in 2027, will provide around 5% of Virgin Media O2’s total energy supply. It is the second PPA that the telecommunications company has signed as part of its move to use only renewable energy at sites where it controls the bill, following its signing of a PPA to source energy from a wind power plant owned by The Renewables Infrastructure Group in 2025.
Egg Power, which is a clean energy infrastructure investor in Liberty Global’s portfolio, acquired the rights to the 49.9MW Grange solar power plant in Suffolk late last year. The investor develops, builds, owns and operates energy projects and services.
The PPA announcement comes shortly after egg Power landed £400 million debt financing from NatWest in January this year to support its 250MW pipeline of solar and wind projects.

Ilesh Patel, who leads the egg Power business at Liberty Global, said that the agreement is a “further endorsement of our mission to become the clean energy supplier of choice for telcos and digital infrastructure providers in the UK”.
Head of energy and carbon at Virgin Media O2, Vijay Chouhan, will speak on a keynote panel ‘The PPA Pricing Reset: What It Means for the UK & Ireland’ at the Renewables Procurement and Revenue Summit in London later this month. 
Chouhan will speak alongside industry representatives on the agenda who are best-placed to advise on operating amidst increasing market pressures and procurement complexity.
