Quantum Data Energy (MAST) said construction at its Hindlip 7.5 megawatt (MW) flexible generation (FlexGen) power project has made significant progress and remains on track to begin commercial operations in Q2 2026.
Hindlip is fully funded in partnership with Powertree and has now largely completed major civil and structural works, with the build moving into the electrical installation phase.
Quantum said site clearance and groundworks are complete, concrete bases have been laid across the key equipment areas, and full perimeter fencing has been installed. Meanwhile, acoustic fencing steel supports are in place and the switchgear building shell and roofing have been completed, with doors expected in late January 2026.
Electrical works are under way including high voltage cable trenching and duct installation, low voltage and signal ducting, and earthing grid installation. The control room container and glass-reinforced plastic building are expected in late January 2026, while delivery of gensets, transformers and high voltage switchgear is planned for mid-February 2026.
Quantum Data Energy’s Head of Operations Ivan Wentzel said: “The Hindlip project has moved from groundwork into full structural development. Civil works are effectively complete and the programme remains on track. With equipment deliveries confirmed and commissioning scheduled, we are moving into the final phase toward energisation and commercial operations in Q2.”

This update reads as steady execution. With civil works effectively finished and the next equipment deliveries and commissioning dates flagged, Hindlip looks increasingly de-risked on timing. If the project hits pre-commissioning in early April 2026 and commissioning in mid-May 2026 as guided, investors should start to focus on what the first full quarters of operating performance could look like once Q2 2026 revenues begin to flow.
