Scatec and Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) have signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the 50 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Botswana. Scatec is also the designated engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), asset manager, and operations and maintenance (O&M) contractor.
