Scatec completes sale of African hydropower assets to TotalEnergies for USD 167 million

Scatec completes sale of African hydropower assets to TotalEnergies for USD 167 million

Oslo, 28 February 2025: Reference is made to the stock exchange notice on 30

July 2024 regarding the sale of Scatec ASA's 51 percent stake in the African

hydropower joint venture with Norfund and British International Investment (BII)

in line with the company's strategy.

The transaction closed today at an agreed sales price of USD 167 million, based

on a valuation date of 31 December 2023. The net proceeds from the transaction

are estimated at USD 161 million, adjusted for cash movements between the

valuation date and the closing date. The proceeds from the transaction will be

used to support Scatec's self-funded growth plan and for additional debt

repayments at corporate level.

The sales agreement includes the operating 255 MW Bujagali hydropower plant in

Uganda, and a development portfolio consisting of the 361 MW Mpatamanga in

Malawi and the 206 MW Ruzizi III at the border of Rwanda, DRC, and Burundi. As

part of the transaction, the Hydro Africa team will be transferred to

TotalEnergies in an entity incorporated as SN Power AS.

"We are pleased with closing the transaction to sell our stake in the African

hydropower assets to TotalEnergies. The divestment is in line with our strategy

to optimise our portfolio and focus the majority of our investments in our core

markets and on solar, onshore wind and battery energy storage. We are confident

that TotalEnergies will be a strong owner going forward. I would especially like

to thank the hydropower team that now moves to TotalEnergies for their hard work

and dedication over the years," says Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog.

The transaction has generated a total proportionate accounting effect of

approximately USD 30 million and consolidated accounting effect of approximately

USD 50 million, primarily driven by foreign currency effects, which will be

recognised in the first quarter of 2025.
