Third quarter results - solid operational results

Oslo, October 25, 2016: Consolidated revenues reached NOK 281 million, up from 202 million in the same period last year and up from NOK 213 million in the previous quarter. EBITDA reached NOK 222 million, up from NOK 159 million last year and up from NOK 153 million in the previous quarter.

Power production reached an historical high this quarter with 222 GWh, up from 183 GWh previous quarter and more than a doubling year on year. Seasonally higher production in South Africa and production from new plants in Jordan led to the higher production quarter on quarter. New 33 MW in Jordan reached commercial operation in the quarter, increasing total operating capacity to 426 MW.

"We report solid results for the third quarter 2016 mainly driven by revenue growth from production of new plants in Jordan and seasonally higher production in South Africa. We continue to work systematically towards financial close of our backlog projects and secure off take agreements for projects in pipeline", says Scatec Solar's CEO, Raymond Carlsen.
