Scatec starts commercial operation at Mmadinare phase 2 in Botswana

10 Dec 2025 13:26 CET

Oslo/Cape Town, 10 December 2025: Scatec ASA, a leading renewable energy
provider, has started commercial operation of the second 60 MW phase of the 120
MW Mmadinare Solar Cluster in Botswana.

The Mmadinare Solar Cluster is Scatec's first project portfolio in Botswana,
where the first phase has been operational since March this year. The power
plant will generate predictable revenues from a 25-year power purchase agreement
(PPA) with Botswana Power Corporation, the national utility. Scatec owns 100% of
the project portfolio, but expects to reduce its long-term economic interest by
inviting additional equity partners.

"We are very proud to achieve COD for the second phase of the solar power plant
portfolio within budget and ahead of schedule, reinforcing our commitment to
advancing renewable energy in the region. This is an important first step for
Botswana, that holds a significant potential for deployment of competitive and
reliable renewable energy to support economic development," says Terje Pilskog,
CEO Scatec.

"As Botswana accelerates its renewable energy transition, this milestone
represents an important moment for the country and region. Solar power is
increasingly central to powering communities and driving sustainable growth. We
are honoured to operate the country's first utility scale solar PV facility -
and contribute to Botswana's long term energy ambitions." says Alberto
Gambacorta, EVP and GM for Sub-Saharan Africa.

Together, the two power plants are expected to generate 280 GWh of clean energy
annually, leading to an estimated abatement of 380,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Scatec will provide Operation & Maintenance and Asset Management services to the
power plants.
