731 MW ready for construction
Our integrated approach enables key decisions to be made at an early stage of the project
Our sourcing model is tailored to our projects
Sourcing based on frame agreements focusing on cost, quality and delivery assurance
- Leverage high volume in project backlog and pipeline
- Regular verification of competitiveness and technology development to ensure we are at forefront of a fast changing industry
- Technology roadmaps including O&M needs
In country risk "boxed" into one construction contract (sub-EPC)
- Scope: From receipt of "bulk" material to mechanical completion
- Close cooperation to meet our CSR standard
- Effective execution utilising synergies between local knowledge and Scatec Solar's EPC experience
- Extensive contractor engagement program
Example from some recent projects
| Agua Fria, Honduras 60 MW |
Dreunberg, South Africa 75 MW |
ASYV, Rwanda 9 MW |

A business model enabling "self funded" growth
Example based on a 75 MW project
- The D&C gross margin provides a large part of the Scatec Solar's equity contribution in the project
- Projects are financed by non-recourse debt, allowing Scatec Solar to operate with high financial leverage at the project level while maintaining limited risk exposure at the parent level
- Annual self funded growth capacity of adding 300- 400 MW based on average ownership of 50-60%
Key figures – plants in operation and backlog
| In operation | Backlog* | Total | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | MW | 322 | 731 | 1,053 |
| Annual Production | MWh | ~640,000 | ~1,500,000 | ~2,140,000 |
| Annual Revenues | MNOK | ~1,100 | ~1,200 | ~2,300 |
| Total capex | MNOK | 5,300** | ~9,200 | ~14,500 |
| Total Equity |
MNOK | 1,425** | ~1,850 | ~3,275 |
- Scatec Solar equity position in backlog projects; 50-100% / leverage 75-80%
- Average equity IRR of 15% nominal after tax on new power plant investments
- Typical EPC contract value represents 80% of project capex (~7,400 MNOK for backlog)
- Scatec Solar expects 15% gross margin from Development & Construction
(*) Backlog: Projects assessed as having more than 90% likelihood of being realized (**) Based on project company balance sheet values as of end of Q3'16
- Target 1,300-1,500 MW in operation and under construction by end 2018
- Development and Construction gross margin averaging 15%

The global market for PV is expected to grow significantly in the years to come
- Recent fall in component prices makes solar power even more competitive
- Emerging economies will continue to take advantage of lower cost renewables
- Cost of batteries in rapid decline
- Lower oil and gas prices have limited impact on the appetite for renewables
