For the full year 2017, Scatec Solar's proportionate share of revenues reached

In November 2017, the company successfully completed issuance of a NOK 750

million corporate green bond, with significantly reduced interest rate, to

refinance the bond maturing in 2018.

In December 2017, a 40 MW project in Malaysia was secured and added directly to

the project backlog. Work has started to secure project finance from commercial

banks in Malaysia and capex is estimated to USD 50 million.

"We have closed financing for 800 MW of new solar plants in 2017 and this will
