Scatec Solar's production capacity in Jordan reaches 43 MW with the third solar plant in commercial operation

Oslo, Norway, September 1, 2016: Scatec Solar's third solar plant in Jordan has

now reached commercial operation (COD) increasing the total production capacity

in Jordan to 43 MW.

Built under the Jordanian Renewable Energy Program, the 22 MW solar plant is

developed by Scatec Solar and its local partner European Jordanian Renewable

Energy (EJRE). Scatec Solar owns 50.1% of the project company, while EJRE holds

49.9%.

The plant is built on an area of approximately 51 hectares, which is equivalent

to about 95 football fields. Situated about 225 km south of the capital city

Amman, the plant will produce electricity in excess of 52,000 MWh annually. The

plant is connected to a substation built and controlled by the state utility,

NEPCO, with whom Scatec Solar has signed a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement

(PPA).

The clean energy produced by the solar plant will avoid 33,000 tons of CO2

emissions per year and serve the electricity need of about 10,000 households

annually.
