Oslo, 1 August 2024: Scatec ASA, a leading renewable energy company in emerging
economies, has closed the divestment of its 54% equity stake in the 8.5 MW solar
power plant in Rwanda to Fortis Green Fund I Rwanda Holdings Ltd (Fortis) and
Axian Energy Green Ltd (Axian) for USD 1.38 million. This announcement follows
the notice provided to the market in the fourth quarter of 2023.
"We continue to deliver on our strategy to consolidate our portfolio through
divestment of assets in non-core markets, and recycling capital into new
investments in renewable energy. We are very satisfied with the closing and
would like to thank the teams in Scatec, Fortis, Axian and other parties
involved for a successful transaction. We are confident that the new owners will
take good care of the solar power plant and continue to deliver clean renewable
energy to the Republic of Rwanda for many years to come," says Scatec CEO Terje
Pilskog.
Scatec has also exited from the operations, maintenance, and asset management
agreements for the power plant and has officially discontinued all operations in
Rwanda.
