Scatec Solar secures a 53 MW solar project in Honduras

Oslo, October 28, 2015: Scatec Solar and Norfund have signed a share purchase
agreement to acquire the 53 MW Los Prados solar project in Honduras. The project
have secured a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Empresa nacional de
Energía Eléctrica (ENEE), the government-owned utility. Located in the southern
Choluteca region close to the Pacific coast, the solar power plant is expected
to provide about 110,000 MWh annually to the grid, generating revenues of about
USD 15 million per year.

"With this new project, we are further strengthening our position in the
Honduran and Latin American solar market. It is great that we can build on the
60 MW Agua Fria project to execute another 53 MW in the country." said Raymond
Carlsen, CEO of Scatec Solar.

Scatec Solar ASA will build, own and operate the power plant. The equity will be
owned 70 percent by Scatec Solar and 30 percent by Norfund. Total capital
expenditure is estimated to USD 100 million and will be funded by 75 percent
non-recourse project finance debt. Project financing is expected to be provided
by the Central American Bank of Economic Integration (CABEI) and Export Credit
Norway with guarantee from the Norwegian Export Credit Guarantee Institute.

Financial close is expected in early 2016. Certain construction activities will
start immediately while grid connection of the plant is expected in the third
quarter 2016.
