Scatec Solar secures 83 MW in Ukraine
Oslo, June 11, 2018: Scatec Solar has signed agreements securing two projects
with capacity of 33 MW and 50 MW in the Cherkassy region of Ukraine.
The projects will be realized under the country's Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) scheme
and the two plants are expected to produce about 106,000 MWh per year. Land will
be leased for an extended time-period from the local municipalities and the
plants are expected to deliver power also beyond the 10-year FiT period.
Total capex for the projects is estimated to EUR 85 million. The project finance
process has been initiated with the European Bank of Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD) in lead. Financial close and construction start is expected
later in 2018 with commercial operation during 2019.
"We are very enthusiastic about securing our first two projects in Ukraine to
our backlog, and we see it as a first step to develop a larger portfolio of
solar power plants in the country. Ukraine is actively working to change their
energy mix and increase the share of power supplied from renewables. We are very
pleased to once again partner with EBRD to promote renewables and open a new
market for solar", says CEO Raymond Carlsen.
Scatec Solar will be the lead equity investor in the projects and is targeting
to secure additional equity partners for the projects. Scatec Solar will be the
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) provider and provide Operation &
Maintenance as well as Asset Management services to the power plants.
