Strong community relations – vital for success

  • Economic development often a critical part of the renewables program
  • Strong community relations key for successful execution
  • Job creation is the most important factor both directly through construction and operation jobs
  • In South Arica Economic Development commitments over 20 years are made as part of the bid documents
  • Existing Scatec Solar projects total community contributions in South Africa totals NOK 1.2 billion over a 20 year period; a significant contribution to the scarcely populated regions
  • Specialist advisors engaged to manage CSR and ED programs

Africa: Lack of power holds back economic growth

Key facts

  • 54 countries and population 1.1 billion
  • Sub-Saharan Africa GDP equals Netherlands, but includes 7 of the 10 fastest growing economies in the world
  • Total power production in Sub-Saharan Africa (ex South Africa) equals Norway's power production
  • 600 million people without power

COP21 in Paris: Also a leap forward for renewables?

  • Climate Finance, e.g. the UN Green Climate Fund, can speed up deployment of renewables in developing countries
  • Scatec Solar: Strategy and Programme for UN accreditation(CDM) of our solar power plants in developing countries
  • Current Scatec Solar projects save more than 600 000 tons of CO2 per year, to reach more than 2 million in 2018
  • Norwegian developers and finance institutions (e.g GIEK, Norfund) can play a vital role in accelerating renewable investments in the south; partnering with UNs Green Climate Fund
  • Hydro and solar investments by Norwegian IPPs will open opportunities for Norwegian suppliers

Scatec Solar is well positioned for the future

  • Diversified asset base with stable cash generation for the next 20-25 years
  • Solid project pipeline for further growth over the coming years
  • Track record and business model for complex emerging solar markets
  • Emerging economies take advantage of lower renewables prices
  • Lower oil and gas prices have limited impact on the appetite for renewables
  • Market transformation opens up for new business offerings
