Magnora in South Africa: beyond 4.000 MW landbank, sales accelerating and a transaction closing

26.9.2024 06:30:00 CEST | Magnora ASA | Additional regulated information

required to be disclosed under the laws of a member state

Magnora's South African operation is proceeding ahead of plans.

As of 25 September, Magnora's South African landbank reached 4 300 MW including

more than 300 MW of sold projects. The landbank is constantly expanded and

matured, but occasional churn does not disturb the picture of a high-quality,

mature landbank that continues to generate market interest: negotiations are

advancing on additional volumes short to mid-term.

On 20 June 2024, Magnora signed a deal for the sale of a project site. The deal

closed in September and a first payment has been received.*

"Our South African operation keeps performing. The last 15 months have resulted

in a series of project sales. This places Magnora South Africa among the

top-tier developers in the market with repeated project sales to top-tier South

African IPPs. In addition to deal flow, our focus is on attracting top talents

to our constantly increasing team and rapidly expanding our project portfolio"

says Erik Sneve, CEO of Magnora ASA.

*) The typical deal structure combines up-front payments with a set of milestone

payments - some of these are asset-specific and some are related to the buyer's

ability to successfully position the asset in competition with other energy

providers in auctions with e.g. Eskom. In most deals, a significant portion of

the full payment will be at risk.
