Scatec Solar ASA:Update on Scatec Solar's South-African portfolio

Scatec Solar ASA:Update on Scatec Solar's South-African portfolio

Oslo, 1 November 2018: Final closing of the transaction announced 30 August

2018 where Scatec Solar increases its ownership share in the solar plants

Kalkbult, Linde and Dreunberg in South Africa from 39% to 45%, has been

completed. The three plants have a total capacity of 190 MW and the increased

ownership further strengthens the company's position in the South African

market.

Scatec Solar is currently ramping up construction of three new solar plants in

South Africa with a total capacity of 258 MW. The six solar power plants are

expected to generate a combined 1,000 GWh of power annually that are sold under

20-year power purchase agreements.

Furthermore, Scatec Solar ASA has secured guarantees with MIGA (Multilateral

Investment Guarantees), a member of the World Bank Group, covering its equity

investments in the six South African solar power plants. The guarantees cover

90 percent of investments by Scatec Solar for up to 15 years against the risks

of Breach of Contract and Transfer Restrictions and Convertibility.

"These MIGA guarantees are a cost-efficient way of mitigating risk in an

important part of our asset portfolio. We are working with multilateral finance

institutions across emerging markets and with these agreements we are again

demonstrating how strong partnerships are improving the robustness of our long-

term investments", says Raymond Carlsen, CEO of Scatec Solar.

MIGA was created in 1988 as a member of the World Bank Group to promote foreign

direct investment in emerging economies by helping mitigate the risks of

restrictions on currency conversion and transfer, breach of contract by

governments, expropriation, and war & civil disturbance; and offering credit

enhancement to private investors and lenders. Over the last three decades, MIGA

has directly supported over $50 billion in investments for over 845 projects in

111 developing countries.
