Joint Lead Manager:

Oslo, 16 June 2023

Important information

A prospective investor should consider carefully the factors set forth in Chapter 1 Risk factors, and elsewhere in the Prospectus, and should consult his or her own expert advisers as to the suitability of an investment in the bonds.

IMPORTANT – EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any bonds includes a legend titled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" and/or "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ('EEA') and/or in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended) (the PRIIPs Regulation) (and for UK, as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the UK PRIIPs Regulation)) for offering or selling the bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA and/or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA and/or the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation and/ or the UK PRIIPS Regulation.

MiFID II product governance and/or UK MiFIR product governance – The Final Terms in respect of any bonds will include a legend titled "MiFID II product governance" and/or "UK MiFIR product governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the bonds and which channels for distribution of the bonds are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the bonds (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Description of the Base Prospectus

Under this Base Prospectus (as supplemented and amended from time to time), the Issuer may occasionally issue and list bonds ("Bonds") denominated in any currency agreed between the Issuer and the relevant dealer.

The Bonds will be issued on a senior basis as secured or unsecured, with fixed or floating interest rate. The Bonds may have put- and call options and they may be green or sustainability-linked.

The Bonds will be electronically registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository or any other CSD that allows for bonds issued in uncertificated and dematerialised book-entry form.

There is no limit with regard to the maximum aggregate nominal amount of all bonds from time to time outstanding under the prospectus. However, each issue of bonds will have either a given borrowing amount in the case where there is only one tranche, or a given borrowing limit in the case of more than one tranche.

The Bonds may be issued on a continuing basis to any dealer that the Issuer decides upon.

The Base Prospectus is valid within twelve months from the date of the Base Prospectus.

Information on website(s) mentioned in the Base Prospectus/the Final Terms does not form part of the Base Prospectus/the Final Terms unless that information is incorporated by reference into the Base Prospectus/the Final Terms.

1 Risk factors

Investing in bonds issued by Scatec ASA involves inherent risks.

As the Company is the parent company of the Group, and primarily a holding company, the risk factors for the Group are deemed to be equivalent for the purpose of this Base Prospectus.

The risks and uncertainties described in the Prospectus are risks of which the Company is aware and that the Company considers to be material to its business. If any of these risks were to occur, the Company's business, financial position, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected, and the Company could be unable to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the bonds. Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other things, the risk factors set out in this Base Propectus, before making an investment decision.

An investment in the bonds is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of their investment.

RISKS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS OF THE GROUP Cost uncertainty and increasing operating expenses

For projects in which the Group currently undertakes, or in the future will undertake, the construction of any particular PV, wind and hydropower plant, the Group is subject to the risk of cost overruns or other unanticipated costs and expenses, or delays that could have a material adverse impact on the Group's financial performance. Furthermore, while the revenues from sale of power from operating plants are typically fixed through long term contracts, the operating cost base is exposed to the markets of the respective inputs, such as manpower, and may increase in the future,.

The Group is dependent on external subcontractors and suppliers of services and goods to carry out its operations

If suppliers fail to meet agreed or generally accepted standards in areas such as environmental compliance, human rights, labour relations, product quality and timely delivery, this could have a significant adverse effect. Effect may e.g. be delays on projects under construction and increased cost for projects under construction or in operation, which may lead to financial loss and/or loss of revenues to the Group.

The success, competitive position and future revenues will depend in part on the Group's ability to protect intellectual property and know-how

The Group's daily business and business strategy are tied to know-how, however, the Group is not dependent on any patents for its daily business. The Group relies on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect its intellectual property rights. Risk of loosing know how and intellectual property may lead to loss of competitive position and ability to sustain growth abitions, which may lead to financial loss and/or loss of revenues to the Group.

The Group is exposed for fluctuations in the electricity prices

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in electricity prices, which may adversely impact the Group's operations and financial condition. The Group's revenue, cash flow, profitability and rate of growth are dependent on the local and international prices of electricity. The recent dramatic fluctuations in these prices caused, inter alia, by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, puts the Group at risk, and it is possible that these fluctuations will continue.

The cost of compliance with health, safety, environmental and other laws and regulations may be increased over time

The Group is subject to numerous laws and regulations of the various jurisdictions in which the Group conducts its business. Such laws and regulations govern, among other matters, land utilisation, development- and zoning plans, property tax, HSE (health, safety and environmental), power market, grid operation, air pollution emissions, wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous waste management, and the use, composition, handling, distribution and transportation of hazardous materials. Many of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent (and may contain "strict liability"), and the cost of compliance with these requirements can be expected to increase over time.

The Group operates in countries with a high degree of bureaucracy and/or turbulent political conditions Many of the countries in which the Group operates are known for a high degree of bureaucracy. This may

influence the Group's ability to execute its business without delays.

The Group further carries out operations in several countries with a history of turbulent political conditions. Operating business in countries with such turbulent political conditions may be challenging and lead to slower production due to halt in deliveries, unforeseen regulatory changes, or lack of governmental regulations. If the development in recent years, with increased political tensions globally, also in jurisdictions where the Group operates, continues, this may have a negative impact on the Group's operations.

The Group operates in countries where corruption and other unethical practices may occur

The Group operates in countries known to experience governmental corruption. While the Group is committed to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner, there is a risk that the Group's employees or agents or those of its affiliates may take actions that violate applicable anti-corruption regulations. These actions could result in monetary penalties against the Group or its affiliates and could damage the Group's reputation and, therefore, its ability to do business.

In addition to the risks that arise in countries that have experienced governmental and contractual corruption, there is also a risk that the Group will not be able to ensure that its internal control policies and procedures will protect the Group from fraud or other criminal acts committed by the Group's employees or agents or those of its affiliates.

The international operations expose the Company to exchange rate risks rising from various currency transactions and exposures

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency transactions and exposures. As the Group reports its consolidated results in NOK, any change in exchange rates between NOK and its subsidiaries' functional currencies, with respect to fluctuations in currencies primarily with respect to changes in PHP, USD, ZAR, THB, EUR, MYR, BRL, EGP and CZK, affects its consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of financial position. As the Group expands its operations with projects in new markets the currency risk exposure increases. A sustained adverse development of the exchange rates between the said currencies may have an adverse effect on Scatec's business, prospects, financial results and results of operations.

The Group is exposed to credit risks in relation to third parties with obligations to the Group

The Group is exposed to third party credit risk in several instances, including off-take partners who have committed to buy electricity produced under 20-25 year contracts by or on behalf of the Group, suppliers and/or contractors who are engaged to construct or operate assets held by the Group, property owners who are leasing land to the Group, banks providing financing and guarantees of the obligations of other parties, insurance companies providing coverage against various risks applicable to the Group's assets, and other third parties who may have obligations towards the Group. Consequence of third parties not beeing able to meet its obligations may result in financial loss to the Group.

The Group is exposed to various risks related to the Group's financing arrangements

The Group has operational and financial covenants related to its loans and other financial commitments, demanding a certain performance of the Group and setting restrictions on the Group's freedom to operate and manage the Group's business, including change of control clauses that may be triggered outside the control of the Group. Failure to comply with financial and other covenants may have a material adverse effect on the Group and its financial position, including potential increased financial cost, need for re-financing and requirement for additional security or cancellation of loans.

The Group is exposed to risks in relation to interest rates

In recent years, relatively low interest rates had a positive effect on the profitability of PV solar, wind and hydro power plants. Following the recent increases in interest rates globally, the risks related to interest rate fluctuations are more apparent. The higher interest rates increase the expected return on certain alternative investments and increase costs of financing. A further increase in interest rates could significantly reduce the profitability of the Group's power plants.

Several of the Group's development projects may not be realised

Several of the Group's projects are under development and may not be realised. The right to build and operate a renewable project is subject to public concessions and permits in addition to private ownership rights to land and waterfalls. This comprises all stages of a renewable project, from early development stage to construction, production, transmission and sale of power.Not being able to realize development projects may lead to loss of future revenues.

The Group is dependent on the quality of, and production, performance and the reputation of plants for PV solar power, hydropower and wind power in general

The Group's plants for PV solar power, hydropower and wind power, must meet stringent quality requirements but may contain defects that are not detected until the completion of their construction and subsequent operation because the Group or subcontractors cannot test for all possible scenarios or applications. These defects could cause the Group to incur significant replacement costs or re-engineering costs, divert the attention of its engineering personnel from development efforts, and significantly affect its customer relations and business reputation. If the Group constructs defective plants for PV solar power, hydropower or wind power, or if there is a perception that its plants are defective, the Group's credibility and sales could be harmed.

Accounting treatment and classification

The accounting treatment for many aspects of the Group's solar energy business is complex, and the Group's future results could be adversely affected by changes in the accounting treatment applicable to its solar energy business. Changes in key assumptions could lead to the recognition of additional impairment losses. Changes in evaluation of the useful lives of assets may change depreciation and amortisation going forward.

The Group's revenues and costs are to a certain degree dependent on charges related to transmission and distribution

Increases in charges relating to the connection to and use of the electricity transmission and distribution networks and relating to balancing of electricity supply and demand, and/or restrictions on the capacity in such networks available for use by some of the Group's power plants, may result in higher operating costs, lower revenues and fewer opportunities for growth.

Sedimentation of the water reservoirs represents a potential threat to the production of hydropower

Over time, accumulation of sludge will build up in the reservoirs for the Group's hydropower production. This process is called sedimentation, and is a process of erosion, entrainment, transportation, deposition and compaction of sediment carried out into reservoirs formed and contained by dams. Such sedimentation of the water reservoirs will affect the safety of the dams and cause a reduction of energy production, storage, discharge capacity and flood attenuation capabilities. Further, sedimentation will increase the pressure on the dam and gates, and may cause damages to mechanical equipment and also otherwise create a wide range of environmental impacts.Consequences of rectifying sedimentation causing problems to the production of hydropower may lead to financial loss and/or reduced profitability.

The resettlement of relocated residents may cause significant cost increases and/or construction delays of the Group's hydropower projects

The construction of hydropower projects requires the construction of dams and reservoirs, typically increasing the water-level at the hydropower project site, and leaving part of the area submerged. This generally requires the relocation and resettlement of residents in the area surrounding the project sites. Commonly, the local government authorities in the relevant area are responsible for the relocation and resettlement of such residents, but the hydropower project's owner is often responsible for paying associated resettlement compensation. The Group has not experienced any significant setbacks or disputes due to resettlement issues, but there is no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future.

In addition, the relevant local government may dispute or request adjustment of resettlement compensation allocated for a hydropower project, even after the hydropower commences operations.

Furthermore, the Group may face opposition from local environmental and other interest groups due to the perceived impact of the Group's hydropower projects.

RISKS RELATING TO LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Changes in tax laws, rules related to accounting for income taxes or adverse outcomes from audits by taxation authorities could impact the Group's effective tax rate

The Group operate in several countries, and its effective tax rate is derived primarily from the applicable tax rate in these countries. The Group's effective tax rate may be lower or higher than in the past due to numerous factors, including the sources of its income and the tax filing positions it takes. In certain projects, the PPA or other agreement provides protection against changes in law, however, there may be temporary cash flow impact before the additional tax is compensated under the contractual setup. In other projects, there is no contractual protection for change in law. Hence, changes in tax and/or accounting regulations and/or adverse outcomes from Audits may negatively impact the profitability on project and/or Group level.

The Group's transfer pricing documentation and policies may be challenged

The Group will have activity in several countries and tax jurisdictions. As such, there is a risk that tax authorities may challenge the Group's transfer pricing documentation and policies regarding intercompany transactions between companies in the Group. If a TP adjustement is made in one jurisdictions, for example increased income, there is not necessarily a corresponding adjustment in the other jurisdictions for increased cost by the service receipient. This may lead to double taxation. Challenged transfer pricing documentation and policies from Authorities may lead to reduced profitability or financial loss to projects and the Group.

Antitrust and competition regulations or authorities may limit the Group's ability to grow and may force the Group to alter its business practices

Depending on how a relevant market is defined by the Norwegian Competition Authority and any other relevant competition authority, the Group may be found to have a leading competitive position, which could restrict the ability of the Group to make additional expansion efforts, including through acquisitions.Antitrust and /or competition regulations may impact transactions and/or the Groups ability to grow and may lead to reduced profitability for example due to reduced economies of scale or financial loss for example due to transaction cost to project and/or the Group.

RISKS RELATING TO THE BONDS AND THE BOND ISSUE

Each potential investor in the Bond Issue and the bonds issued (the "Bonds") must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should (i) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Bond Issue; (ii) have access to and knowledge of the appropriate analytical tools to evaluate an investment in the Bonds; (iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear the risks associated with investment in the Bonds; (iv) understand the terms of the Bonds and the behavior of the relevant financial markets, and (v) be able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment.

The Issuer may not have sufficient funds to service the Bonds

During the lifetime of the Bonds, the Issuer will be required to make payments on the Bonds. The Issuer is dependent upon the ability of its subsidiaries to generate cash flow from operations and to make distributions to the Issuer. If the Issuer is unable to generate sufficient distributions from its subsidiaries, it will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as reducing capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing indebtedness or seeking new equity capital. The Issuer cannot assure investors that any of these alternative strategies could be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all, or that they would yield sufficient funds to make the required payments under the Bond issue or to repay the Bonds at maturity.

The Issuer may have insufficient funds to make required repurchases of Bonds

Upon the occurrence of a put-option event (as defined in the term sheet), each individual bondholder has a right to require that the Issuer purchases all or some of the Bonds at a percentage shareof the nominal value as described in Bond Terms. However, it is possible that the Issuer will have insufficient funds at the time of the putoption event to make the required repurchase of the Bonds.

Issuer's redemption of Bonds

The terms of the Bonds will provide that the Issuer (i) may redeem all or parts of the Bonds at various call prices during the lifetime of the Bonds and (ii) shall redeem all the Bonds upon certain conditions. If the Bonds are redeemed before the final maturity date, the Issuer is required to pay the bondholders an early redemption amount which exceeds the nominal amount outstanding under the Bond Terms. However, there is a risk that the market value of the Bonds will be higher than the early redemption amount and that it may not be possible for Bondholders to reinvest the early redemption amount at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Bonds. The call optionis is likely to limit the market value of the Bonds.

A trading market may not develop, and market price may be volatile

The Bonds will be new securities for which currently there is no trading market. Even though the Issuer is contemplating to apply for a listing of the Bonds on a regulated market on an exchange, there can be no assurance as to: (i) the liquidity of any market that may develop; (ii) bondholders' ability to sell the Bonds or (iii) the price at which Bondholders would be able to sell the Bonds. If such a market were to exist, the Bonds could trade at prices that may be lower than the

principal amount or purchase price, depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar bonds and the Group's financial performance and outlook. If an active market does not develop or is not maintained, the price and liquidity of the Bonds may be adversely affected.

Bonds structurally subordinated to liabilities of Issuer's subsidiaries and SPV's

The Bonds are subject to credit risk relating to the Group's ability to meet its payment obligations, which in turn is largely dependent upon the performance of the Group's operations and its financial position. Generally, creditors under indebtedness and trade creditors of the Issuer's subsidiaries and special purpose vehicles ("SPV") will be entitled to payments of their claims from the assets of such subsidiaries and SPV's before these assets are made available for distribution to the Issuer, as a direct or indirect shareholder. Accordingly, in an enforcement scenario, creditors of the Issuer's subsidiaries will generally be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of such subsidiaries before the Issuer, as a direct or indirect shareholder, will be entitled to receive any distributions.

No action against the Issuer and bondholders' representation

In accordance with the Bond Terms, the bond trustee will represent all bondholders in all matters relating to the Bonds and the bondholders are prevented from taking actions on their own against the Issuer. Consequently, individual bondholders do not have the right to take legal actions to declare any default by claiming any payment from the Issuer and may therefore lack effective remedies unless and until a requisite majority of the bondholders agree to take such action.

Bond Terms may be amended or waived

The terms of the Bonds will contain provisions for calling for meetings of bondholders in the event that the Issuer wishes to amend any of the terms and conditions applicable to the Bonds. These provisions permit defined

majorities to bind all bondholders, including bondholders who did not attend and vote at the relevant bondholder meeting and bondholders who vote in a manner contrary to the majority.

Bondholders may be overruled by majority votes taken in the bondholders' meetings

The Bond Terms include certain provisions regarding bondholders' meeting and written procedures. Such meetings and procedures may be used to reach decisions on matters relating to the bondholders' interest. The Bond Terms allow for stated majorities to bind all bondholders, including bondholders who have not taken part in the meeting or procedure and those who have voted against the majority. Consequently, there is a risk that the actions of the majority in such matters will impact a bondholder's rights in a manner that is undesirable for it.

Exchange risks and exchange controls

The Issuer will pay principal and interest on the Bonds in NOK. This presents certain risks relating to currency conversions if an investor's financial activities are denominated principally in a currency or currency unit (the "Investor's Currency") other than NOK. These include the risk that exchange rates may significantly change (including changes due to devaluation of NOK or revaluation of the Investor's Currency) because of economic, political and other factors over which the Issuer has no control and the risk that authorities with jurisdiction over the Investor's Currency may impose or modify exchange controls. An appreciation in the value of the Investor's Currency relative to NOK would decrease (1) the Investor's Currency equivalent yield on the Bonds, (2) the Investor's Currency equivalent value of the principal payable on the Bonds and (3) the Investor's Currency equivalent market value of the Bonds.

Governmental and monetary authorities may impose (as some have done in the past) exchange controls that could adversely affect an applicable exchange rate. As a result, investors may receive less interest or principal than expected, or no interest or principal at all.

Bondholders may be subject to restrictions on transfer of the Bonds

The Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or with any securities regulatory authority of any state of the United States. Subject to certain exemptions, a holder of the Bonds may not offer or sell the Bonds in the United States. The Issuer has not undertaken to register the Bonds under the U.S. Securities Act or with any securities regulatory authority of any state of the United States or to effect any exchange offer for the Bonds in the future. Furthermore, the Issuer has not registered the Bonds under any other country's securities laws. It is each bondholder's obligation to ensure that the offers and sales of its Bonds comply with all applicable securities laws.

The Issuer is relying upon exemptions from registration under the U.S. Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and UK and EU securities laws in the placement of the Bonds. As a result, in the future the Bonds may be transferred or resold only in a transaction registered under or exempt from the registration requirements of such legislation. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell their Bonds at their preferred time or place. The Issuer cannot assure investors as to the future liquidity of the Bonds and, as a result, investors bear the risk of their investment in the Bonds.

Prospective investors may not be able to recover in civil proceedings for U.S. securities laws violations

The Bonds will be issued by the Issuer, which is incorporated under the laws of Norway. All of the Issuer's members of senior management and directors and executives currently reside outside the United States and all of its assets are currently located outside the United States. As a result, prospective investors may be unable to effect service of process within the United States, or to recover on judgments of U.S. courts in any civil proceedings under the U.S. federal securities laws.

The Bonds may not qualify as "green" pursuant to the EU Green Bond Standard

If any issued bonds is contemplated to be issued under the Green Bond Framework, It is expected that, during the term of the Bonds, EU will issue a Green Bond Standard. Should the Bonds not qualify as "green" pursuant to the EU Green Bond Standard, this may have an impact on the pricing of the Bonds.

The Issuer's Green Bond Framework is valid for a period of three years. The Issuer's ability to maintain the Green Bond Framework during the term of the Bonds is subject to an update of Cicero's second party opinion, which it may not obtain. Failure to maintain the Green Bond Framework will constitute a breach of the Issuer's undertakings in the Bond Terms, and may have an impact on the pricing of the Bonds.

The Company's investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies can be seen in Annual Report 2022, Annual Accounts Parent Company, Note 10.

The company is organised into business segments where the operating segments are determined based on differences in the nature of their operations, products and services. Scatec manages its operations in four segments: Power Production (PP), Operation & Maintenance (O&M), Development & Construction (D&C) and Corporate.

As referred to in table above, please see description of Technology as per below.

Solar: A photovoltaic system, also PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and other electrical accessories to set up a working system. It may also use a solar tracking system to improve the system's overall performance and could also include an integrated battery.

Wind: A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy.

Hydro: Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is electricity generated from hydropower (water power).

6.1 Power Production

The power plants produce electricity for sale primarily under long term power purchase agreements (PPAs), with state owned utilities or corporate off-takers, or under government-based feed-in tariff schemes. The weighted average remaining PPA duration for power plants in operation is 15 years. The electricity produced from the power plants in the Philippines is sold on bilateral contracts and in the spot market under a renewable operating license, and as ancillary services.

Scatec generally owns in excess of 50% of the projects in which it participates, with the remainder held by coinvestors. The power plants are primarily financed with a non-recourse finance structure, meaning that there is no obligation for project equity investors to contribute additional funding in the event of a default. Free cash flows after debt service are distributed from these power plant companies to Scatec, and any other project equity investors in accordance with the shareholding and the terms of the finance documents.

6.2 Services

The Services segment comprises Operations & Maintenance (O&M) and Asset Management services provided to power production plants where Scatec has economic interest. The services are delivered to ensure optimised operations of power producing assets through a complete and comprehensive range of services for technical and operational management. O&M revenues are generated based on fixed service fees with additional profit-sharing arrangements. Asset Management services typically include financial reporting to sponsors and lenders, regulatory compliance, environmental and social management, as well as contract management on behalf of the power plant companies. Revenues are based on service agreements with a periodic base fee as well as a potential performance bonus. These revenues are recognised as the service is provided.

6.3 Development and Construction

The Development & Construction segment derives its revenue from the sale of development rights and construction services to project entities set up to operate the Group's power production plants. These transactions are primarily made with entities that are under the control of the Group and hence eliminated when consolidated. Construction services include operations where Scatec is responsible for the total scope of a turnkey installation of a power plant through a contract covering Engineering, Procurement and Construction. Revenues from construction services are based on fixed price contracts and are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. The percentage of completion of a contract is determined by actual cost incurred over total estimated costs to complete.

7 Trend information

7.1 Prospects and financial performance

There has been no material adverse change in the prospects of the Issuer since the date of its last published audited financial statements.

There has been no significant change in the financial performance of the Group since the end of the last financial period for which financial information has been published to the date of the Base Propectus.

7.2 Known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events

Energy is key to solving the net zero equation. If the world is to succeed in meeting our global climate targets, we must massively scale renewable energy solutions across technologies, ensuring that renewables development accelerates to comprise 85% of the world's energy mix.

The demand for renewables is growing rapidly, spurred on by increasingly urgent climate warnings, along with escalating economical and geopolitical factors. The relative competitiveness of renewables has strengthened over time, and it is now the most cost-efficient power source in much of the world.

The import of fossil fuels is seen as unreliable by many political leaders, given price volatility and geopolitical unrest. Renewable energy represents an opportunity for countries to boost their economic growth, meet growing energy needs, improve living standards, generate employment, and reduce dependency on fossil fuels.

Scatec believes that for the world to achieve its climate targets, emerging economies must be part of the solution. Today, 63% of carbon emissions stem from emerging markets. However, these markets only receive 20% of the global investment in clean energy. The IEA (source: IEA World Energy Outlook 2022) reports that given rising populations, expectations for urbanisation and increased industrial activities in these countries, we can expect emissions to increase by about five gigatonnes within the next 20 years if we fail to act.

To give these growing economies the boost they need to transition, we are looking at an investment level into clean energies of more than USD 1 trillion by 2030, according to the IEA (source: IEA Net Zero by 2050) in a net zero by 2050 scenario.

There is also a growing need for green hydrogen, ammonia and other critical feedstocks powered by renewables, to accelerate the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries.

Emerging economies with renewable resources and strategic locations near end markets, such as Egypt, are expected to become large producers and exporters of green hydrogen and green fuel in the years to come.

Scatec growth targets

In September 2022 Scatec announced a sharpened strategy and updated growth targets. Scatec will continue to develop, build, own and operate renewable energy in emerging markets and secure long-term, profitable, and sustainable growth in the strategy period towards 2027. The strategy outlines three primary focus areas; i) grow renewables, ii) advance green hydrogen and iii) optimise portfolio, including financial ambitions and targets.

  • i. Scatec will continue to grow its renewables business, including solar, wind and hydro, by building scale in selected focus markets to improve predictability and value creation.
  • ii. Scatec will build on its core strengths to take a leadership role in green hydrogen by developing prime locations in emerging markets, securing long-term offtake, and funding, and applying the integrated business model.
  • iii. Scatec will optimise its portfolio, by simplifying and consolidating, capturing additional value in power markets, and scaling and launching Release as an independent platform.

Scatec targets to invest NOK 10 billion of equity in new power plants with a required return of 1.2 times the cost of equity. The company has a solid financial platform for growth, including a diversified asset portfolio, prudent financial risk management, continued focus on cost discipline, and solid cash flow.

[MIFID II product governance / Professional investors and eligible counterparties (ECPs) only target market – Solely for the purposes of [the/each] manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended) (MiFID II); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. [Consider any negative target market]. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a distributor) should take into consideration the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.]

[UK MiFIR product governance / Professional investors and eligible counterparties only (ECPs) target market – Solely for the purposes of [the/each] manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Bonds is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (UK MiFIR); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. [Consider any negative target market]. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a distributor) should take into consideration the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules) is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.]

[PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (EEA). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation (as defined below). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended) (the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.]

What are the key risk factors that are specific
to the issuer

Cost uncertainty and increasing operating expenses
For projects in which the Group currently undertakes, or
in the future will undertake, the construction of any
particular PV, wind and hydropower plant, the Group is
subject to the risk of cost overruns or other unanticipated
costs and expenses, or delays that could have a material
adverse impact on the Group's financial performance.

The Group is dependent on external subcontractors
and suppliers of services and goods to carry out its
operations
If suppliers fail to meet agreed or generally accepted
standards in areas such as environmental compliance,
human rights, labour relations, product quality and timely
delivery, this could have a significant adverse effect.

The Group is exposed for fluctuations in the
electricity prices
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in electricity prices,
which may adversely impact the Group's operations and
financial condition. The Group's revenue, cash flow,
profitability and rate of growth are dependent on the local
and international prices of electricity.

The Group operates in countries with a high degree
of bureaucracy and/or turbulent political conditions
The Group further carries out operations in several
countries with a history of turbulent political conditions.
Operating business in countries with such turbulent
political conditions may be challenging and lead to
slower production due to halt in deliveries, unforeseen
regulatory changes, or lack of governmental regulations.

The Group operates in countries where corruption
and other unethical practices may occur
The Group operates in countries known to experience
governmental corruption. While the Group is committed
to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner,
there is a risk that the Group's employees or agents or
those of its affiliates may take actions that violate
applicable anti-corruption regulations. These actions
could result in monetary penalties against the Group or
its affiliates and could damage the Group's reputation
and, therefore, its ability to do business.

Final Terms - [Title of Bonds] ISIN [ISIN]

The international operations expose the Company to
exchange rate risks rising from various currency
transactions and exposures
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to
foreign exchange risk arising from various currency
transactions and exposures. As the Group reports its
consolidated results in NOK, any change in exchange
rates between NOK and its subsidiaries' functional
currencies.
The Group is exposed to credit risks in relation to
third parties with obligations to the Group
The Group is exposed to third party credit risk in several
instances, including off-take partners, suppliers and/or
contractors , property owners, banks providing financing
and guarantees of the obligations of other parties,
insurance companies providing coverage against various
risks applicable to the Group's assets, and other third
parties who may have obligations towards the Group.
The Group is exposed to various risks related to the
Group's financing arrangements
The Group has operational and financial covenants
related to its loans and other financial commitments,
demanding a certain performance of the Group and
setting restrictions on the Group's freedom to operate
and manage the Group's business, including change of
control clauses that may be triggered outside the control
of the Group. Failure to comply with financial and other
covenants may have a material adverse effect on the
Group and its financial position.
The Group is exposed to risks in relation to interest
rates
Following the recent increases in interest rates globally,
the risks related to interest rate fluctuations are more
apparent.
The
higher
interest
rates
increase
the
expected return on certain alternative investments and
increase costs of financing. A further increase in interest
rates could significantly reduce the profitability of the
Group's power plants.

What are the key risks that are specific to the
securities

Investing in Bonds involves inherent risks
Investing in bond instruments inherently involves the risk
that the value of the Bonds will decrease or that the
Issuer will be unable to fulfil its obligations to repay the
Bonds or pay interest under the Bonds. Thus, any
prospective investor must be able to suffer such
economic risk, and to withstand a complete loss of an
investment in the Bonds.

The Issuer may not have sufficient funds to service
the Bonds
During the lifetime of the Bonds, the Issuer will be
required to make payments on the Bonds. The Issuer is
dependent upon the ability of its subsidiaries to generate
cash flow from operations and to make distributions to
the Issuer. If the Issuer is unable to generate sufficient
distributions from its subsidiaries, it will be forced to
adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions
such as reducing capital expenditures, selling assets,
restructuring or refinancing indebtedness or seeking new
equity capital.

Issuer's redemption of Bonds
The terms of the Bonds will provide that the Issuer may
redeem all or parts of the Bonds at various call prices
during the lifetime of the Bonds. Hence there is a risk
that the market value of the Bonds will be higher than the
early redemption amount.
Bonds structurally subordinated to liabilities of
Issuer's
subsidiaries
and
SPV's
The Bonds structurally subordinated to liabilities of
Issuer's subsidiaries and SPV's. Accordingly, in an
enforcement
scenario,
creditors
of
the
Issuer's
subsidiaries will generally be entitled to payment in full
from the sale or other disposal of the assets of such
subsidiaries before the Issuer, as a direct or indirect
shareholder, will be entitled to receive any distributions.

Bond Terms may be amended or waived
Bond Terms may be amended or waived, The Bond
Terms allow for stated majorities to bind all bondholders,
including bondholders who have not taken part in the
meeting or procedure and those who have voted against
the majority. Consequently, there is a risk that the
actions of the majority in such matters will impact a
bondholder's rights in a manner that is undesirable for it.

The Bonds may not qualify as "green" pursuant to
the EU Green Bond Standard
The Issuer's Green Bond Framework is valid for a period
of three years. The Issuer's ability to maintain the Green
Bond Framework during the term of the Bonds is subject
to an update of Cicero's second party opinion, which it
may not obtain. Failure to maintain the Green Bond
Framework will constitute a breach of the Issuer's
undertakings in the Bond Terms, and may have an
impact on the pricing of the Bonds
