Scatec Solar's solar project in South Africa by Armand

Around 2015, Scatec Solar has started to set up the third 86 MW solar plant in Upington along with its partnership, in South Africa in order to complete the 258 MW solar power complex. The third 86 MW solar plant is capable to produce 217 GWh per year, same for the two previous solar panel plants. These gathered implantations are expected to produce near 650 GWh which will be a great benefit for the hundreds of thousand local households by providing them clean energy and by decreasing more than 600.000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions once a year.

Thanks to its three solar plants, the firm was awarded in 2015 by the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme, in South Africa.

In addition to the entire 258 MW complex in Upington, the firm is aiming to build a fourth 86 MW solar plant at the same location. Just like the preceding three solar plants, the fourth infrastructure is expected to produce the same amount of energy, in order to provide clean resources for 40.000 households yearly.

The firm has declared an increasing strong growth in the fourth solar plant in 2019, with an amount of revenues of 1.642 million in NOK.

The firm is aiming to reach an energy capacity of 4.5 GW in under construction at the end of 2021.
