strong growth and a solid project pipeline across solar, wind, hydro and storage
in high-growth markets globally.
12 GW of new capacity, from current 3.3 GW, will require NOK 100 billion in
investments according to company estimates, of which NOK 15-20 billion will be
funded by Scatec equity. Solid long term cash flows from operating power plants
and margins from development and construction of new plants are expected to fund
a major part of Scatec’s equity investments.
“From the very first day, Scatec has been a frontrunner in an increasingly
dynamic renewables market, and we continue to lead. In line with our broadened
strategy, we are developing renewable energy solutions and combining solar,
wind, hydropower and storage to the benefit of our growing customer base of
state utilities and large energy consumers,” says Raymond Carlsen, Scatec’s CEO.
Since its previous Capital Markets Update in 2019, Scatec has taken major steps
to broaden its business development activities to build a global leader in
renewables. The project development footprint has been expanded to 35 countries,
and the backlog and pipeline of projects has increased from 4.2 GW to 11.9 GW
over the past two years. In 2020, the company acquired leading hydropower player
SN Power, a transaction adding both scale and significant cash flow.
“Scatec is a pure renewable player. Our business model will continue to be based
exclusively on delivery of reliable renewable energy. Our competence and track
record across renewable technologies and in key growth regions paired with our
integrated business model and strong partnership focus, create lasting
competitive advantages,” says Carlsen.
The company remains committed to its strong position in ESG, earning top ratings
from leading agencies.
“Our ESG ambition is forming an important part of our company culture. A leading
approach to sustainability and ESG is not only a requirement. It mitigates risk,
creates market opportunities and a competitive advantage,” says Carlsen.
Scatec intends to pay consistent and growing dividends to its shareholders.
Dividends will grow with increased long term cash flow, and the company will
from 2021 adjust its dividend policy to pay out a minimum of 25 % of the cash
distributions received from our operating power plants.
Scatec’s robust and diversified assets portfolio creates a solid platform for
growth in the years to come. Scatec and SN Power delivered a combined 2020
EBITDA of NOK 2.5 billion and power production of 3,045 GWh. For the full year
2021, the total proportionate power production volume is estimated to
3,500-3,700 GWh, up 20% from 2020. In the first quarter 2021, Scatec is
expecting to report proportionate EBITDA in the Power Production segment of NOK
660 - 680 million.
