Scatec Solar awarded projects totaling 360 MW in Tunisia

Oslo, 17 December 2019: Scatec Solar has been awarded three solar power plant

projects in Tunisia totaling approximately 360 MW, following an international

tender launched by the Tunisian Ministry of Industry and SMEs earlier this year.

"We are excited to secure our first projects in Tunisia, supporting the

Government's target to reach 30% electricity production from renewables by

2030. We have solid experience from successful development, execution and

operation of projects in Africa and the Middle East over the last years that we

bring with us as we enter this new market", says Raymond Carlsen, CEO of Scatec

Solar.

The three projects of approximately 60 MW, 60 MW and 240 MW will be located in

Tozeur, Sidi Bouzid and Tataouine respectively. The solar power plants will hold

20 years of PPAs with Société Tunisienne de l'Electricité et du Gaz (STEG). The

solar plants are expected to generate about 830 GWh per year, enough electricity

to power more than 300,000 Tunisian households annually and contributing to

avoid 480,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.

Scatec Solar will be the lead equity investor in the projects. The company will

also be the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) provider and provide

Operation & Maintenance as well as Asset Management services to the power

plants.

Since the end of 2016, the Tunisian government has embarked on the

implementation of its programme for development of electricity production from

renewables. In this framework the Ministry of Industry and SMEs launched an

international tender for solar PV projects in 2019.
