Scatec Solar ASA: Scatec Solar secures USD 100 million project financing for solar power plants in Jordan

Oslo, November 10, 2014: Scatec Solar ASA ('SSO') and its partners have entered

into financing agreements totaling USD 100 million for the development and

construction of three solar power plant projects in Jordan. The projects have a

combined capacity of 43 megawatt (MW) and total investments are estimated to USD

135 million.

The projects have been developed jointly by Scatec Solar and its Jordanian

partners, Quest Energy Investment LLC, European Jordanian Renewable Energy

Projects LLC and Greenland Alternative Energy LLC. Scatec Solar will construct

the plants and in addition provide operation and maintenance services when the

plants are finalized and in operation.

"Securing financing for the Jordanian projects is an important milestone for

Scatec Solar, and an important contribution to meet our ambition of continued

strong growth as an independent solar power producer. I am pleased to see that

our approach to team up with local partners and strong finance institutions

bring about such great results", says CEO Raymond Carlsen in Scatec Solar.

Scatec Solar will own 70 percent of the 10 MW Oryx plant and 40 percent of the

two other plants totaling 33 MW capacity. Completion of the plants is scheduled

for the second half of 2015.

Annual production from the three plant is estimated to 104,000 MWh, generating

revenues of some USD 17 million per year. The electricity produced will be sold

under a 20-year power purchase agreement with the National Electric Power

Company (Nepco). All plants are located in the area nearby Ma'an City in

southern Jordan.

The debt financing will be provided by The European Bank for Reconstruction and

Development (EBRD) and the French development agency Société de Promotion et de

Participation pour la Coopération Economique (Proparco).
