Oslo / Cape Town, 8 December 2022: Today, Scatec ASA, a leading renewable energy
provider in emerging markets, signed power purchase and implementation
agreements (Legal Close) for the three solar Grootfontein projects in the
Western Cape Province of South Africa, under the Renewable Energy Independent
Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP), alongside the South African
government.

"We are proud to have reached this milestone in the procurement process - and
are excited to continue delivering clean and reliable energy in South Africa.
The South African government has shown strong commitment to deliver in
challenging times - and today's achievement is a testament to the hard work and
dedication of actors in the country's renewable energy transition. Scatec
continues to drive action and remains the leading solar IPP in the country and
continent. We look forward to completing the necessary deliverables in the new
year." says Scatec Executive Vice President for Sub-Saharan Africa, Jan Fourie.

Commercial and financial close is expected in the first half of 2023 and when
operational, the combined facilities will power approximately 33,000 households,
and lead to the abatement of 630,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.

Project sites are located approximately 85 kilometres from both Ceres and
Touwsrivier - in the Karoo region - and mark the company's first projects in the
Western Cape. Totalling 273 MW of installed capacity, on a combined land area of
765 hectares, Scatec will sell power from the solar plants under a 20-year Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA) to Eskom.

Scatec will own 51% of the equity in the projects with H1 Holdings, our local
Black Economic Empowerment partner owning 46.5% and a Community Trust holding
2.5%. Scatec will be the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC)
provider and provide Operation & Maintenance, as well as Asset Management
services to the facilities.
