Third quarter results - solid operational results

Oslo, October 25, 2016: Consolidated revenues reached NOK 281 million, up from

202 million in the same period last year and up from NOK 213 million in the

previous quarter. EBITDA reached NOK 222 million, up from NOK 159 million last

year and up from NOK 153 million in the previous quarter.

Power production reached an historical high this quarter with 222 GWh, up from

183 GWh previous quarter and more than a doubling year on year. Seasonally

higher production in South Africa and production from new plants in Jordan led

to the higher production quarter on quarter. New 33 MW in Jordan reached

commercial operation in the quarter, increasing total operating capacity to 426

MW.

"We report solid results for the third quarter 2016 mainly driven by revenue

growth from production of new plants in Jordan and seasonally higher production

in South Africa. We continue to work systematically towards financial close of

our backlog projects and secure off take agreements for projects in pipeline",

says Scatec Solar's CEO, Raymond Carlsen.

Scatec Solar develops, builds, owns and operates large scale solar power plants.

Scatec Solar's proportionate share of cash flow to equity across these business

activities reached NOK 29 million in the third quarter 2016, compared to NOK 37

million in the same period last year and NOK 31 million in the previous quarter.

During the third quarter, Scatec Solar entered into an agreement to sell the

The current project backlog stands at 422 MW, while project pipeline comprises

projects with a combined capacity of 1,126 MW, while the project opportunities
