MPC Energy Solutions announces grid connection of solar PV plant Planeta Rica in Colombia; plant will help reduce emissions by over 4,000 tons of CO2 per year

MPC Energy Solutions announces grid connection of solar PV plant Planeta Rica in Colombia; plant will help reduce emissions by over 4,000 tons of CO2 per year

Amsterdam/Oslo - 5 December 2023 - MPC Energy Solutions ("MPCES", "Company")

announced today that its 26.7 MW solar photovoltaic ("PV") plant Planeta Rica

has been connected and is now supplying energy to the power grid. The project is

a joint venture with French developer Akuo Energy. MPCES and Akuo Energy both

own a 50% stake in the project (https://www.mpc-energysolutions.com/projects-and

-markets).

"We are happy to achieve yet another milestone in our company's history. We

expect the plant to achieve full capacity early next week, and the project is

now delivering clean and affordable energy to the Colombian market. We are proud

of this achievement", said Stefan H.A. Meichsner, Chief Financial Officer of

MPCES.

The Planeta Rica plant will supply over 48 GWh of electricity per year to the

grid and is expected to generate around USD 1.6 million in proportionate

revenues for the Company in 2024. MPCES now has five projects under operation

across four countries in the region.

The power plant was built by the international engineering and construction

group Mota-Egil. Bancolombia provided a project finance facility to the project

to fund construction and the operational phase of the project. Planeta Rica will

sell electricity under a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) to Celsia, one

of the country's leading energy companies. The plant is expected to avoid the

emission of over 4,000 tons of CO2 each year.

"Expanding its solar footprint is core to Colombia's transition towards a more

diversified renewable base. Today the country is highly reliant on power from

hydro sources, and the recent dry periods have shown how negatively this lack of

diversification impacts electricity prices in the market", adds Fernando Zuñiga,

the Company's Managing Director for Latin America.
