Scatec Begins Operations at 273 MW Grootfontein Solar Plant in South Africa

Scatec ASA has commenced commercial operations at the 273 MW Grootfontein solar power plant in South Africa. The project, located in the Western Cape, is the first solar project to achieve commercial operation under the country's REIPPPP Round 5 and is expected to generate 700 GWh of clean energy annually. This will help abate an estimated 630,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year, making Grootfontein the largest co-located solar PV cluster in the region. Scatec holds a 51% stake in the project, with H1 Holdings and the Grootfontein Local Community Trust owning 46.5% and 2.5% respectively. The company will also provide operation, maintenance, and asset management services for the plant.
