Scatec Solar and partners have signed 25-year Power Purchase Agreements for delivery of electricity from six solar plants totaling 400MW (DC) with the Government of Egypt.

All located in Ben Ban area near Aswan in Upper Egypt, the solar plants are expected to generate about 870GWh of solar electricity per year. These projects are part of the 2GW solar FiT programme launched by the Egyptian Government in 2015. The electricity produced from the 400MW is expected to replace about 350,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year, supporting Egypt's emission reduction targets under the Paris Climate Agreement.

"With this programme the Government of Egypt is making important steps towards accessing clean and low cost electricity to drive development and economic prosperity. Scatec Solar and partners are making significant investments and long term commitment to Egypt." said Raymond Carlsen, CEO of Scatec Solar.

Total investments for the 400 MW of solar plants is estimated to USD 450 million and the plants are expected to generate annual revenues of about USD 60 million over the 25-year contract period. Scatec Solar will build, own and operate all six projects and Scatec Solar's share of equity investments will be in the range of USD 50-70 million. Scatec Solar is partnering with local developers and with KLP Norfund Investments for equity investments in the projects and may add additional partners to an equity consortium before financial close.

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is leading a consortium of banks that is expected to support the six projects with a total debt of up to USD 350 million.
