Scatec Solar has been awarded three solar power plant projects totaling 360 MW, in Tunisia, following an international tender launched by the Tunisian Ministry of Industry and SMEs earlier in 2019.
The three solar projects having 60 MW, 60 MW, and 240 MW of capacity will be located in Tozeur, Sidi Bouzid, and Tataouine, respectively. The solar projects will hold 20 years of PPAs with Société Tunisienne de l’Electricité et du Gaz (STEG).
The solar plants are expected to generate about 830 GWh per year, enough electricity to power more than 300,000 Tunisian households annually and contributing to avoid 480,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
Scatec Solar will be the lead equity investor of the project. The company will also provide Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) and Operation & Maintenance as well as Asset Management services to the power plants.
