Scatec starts commercial operation of solar power plant in Botswana

Oslo/Cape Town, 12 March 2025: Scatec ASA, a leading renewable energy provider,

has started commercial operation of the first 60 MW of the 120 MW Mmadinare

Solar Cluster in Botswana.

The power plant is Scatec's first in Botswana and will generate predictable

revenues from a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Botswana Power

Corporation, the national utility. The remaining 60 MW of the project is

currently under construction and is expected to be completed in the beginning of

2026. Scatec owns 100% of the project and is aiming to reduce its long-term

economic interest by inviting additional equity partners.

"We are very proud to achieve COD for the first phase of the solar power plant

within budget, reinforcing our commitment to advancing renewable energy in the

region," says Terje Pilskog, CEO Scatec.

"Moving from development to construction and now to commercial operation has

been highly rewarding. We are now ramping up construction of the second phase

and look forward to its completion in the beginning of next year," says Alberto

Gambacorta, Scatec's EVP of Sub-Saharan Africa.
