Scatec

Integrated renewable energy developer and operator

Overview

Scatec develops and owns utility-scale renewable energy plants across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe, handling project development, engineering, procurement, construction, and long‑term operations. It earns from selling electricity produced by its own plants under long-term PPAs, as well as from EPC contracts and by selling down equity or divesting assets to fund growth, while often pairing solar with hydropower, wind, and battery storage for stable power. The company differentiates itself with an integrated, ownership-based lifecycle model that prioritizes long-term asset ownership and growth financing in high-potential markets. Its goal is to build a diversified portfolio of reliable clean energy assets and expand into new technologies and markets, including green hydrogen.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Obelisk reached COD on August 12, 2026, adding 1.1 GW and 200 MWh.
  • Scatec closed Tunisia's 120 MW Sidi Bouzid II on June 17, 2026.
  • Scatec entered Romanian onshore wind July 31, 2026, diversifying beyond solar-heavy exposure.

What critics are saying

  • Egypt and Tunisia concentrate execution and sovereign risk; payment stress hits cash flows fast.
  • Project-level leverage reached NOK 19.5 billion in Q1 2026, tightening refinancing pressure.
  • Equinor's April 2026 8.1% stake sale signals weak strategic conviction and possible overhang.

What makes Scatec unique

  • Scatec combines development, EPC, ownership, and O&M across project lifecycles.
  • Scatec specializes in emerging-market PPAs, hybrids, and battery-backed solar like Egypt's Obelisk.
  • Scatec finances growth capital-light with non-recourse project debt and co-investors.

Scatec starts full Operations at Egypt's 1.1-GW Obelisk solar project.

Scatec starts full Operations at Egypt's 1.1-GW Obelisk solar project. * Thursday, 13th August 2026 * by Doaa Ashraf A photo of first phase of the Obelisk solar power project in Nagaa Hammadi city. Photo source: (the Cabinet's release) Scatec, a leading Norwegian renewable energy solutions provider, has reached the Commercial Operations Date (COD) for the second and final phase of its 1.1-gigawatt (GW) Obelisk solar and battery storage project in Nagaa Hammadi bringing the full project into operation. "Completing Africa's largest hybrid solar and battery installation demonstrates our ability to develop, finance, and deliver large-scale renewable energy projects in emerging markets," said Terje Pilskog, CEO of Scatec. "Obelisk will supply clean, reliable power to Egypt for 25 years and is a tangible contribution to the country's energy security and transition," he added. The project was developed in two phases. The first phase includes 561 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity and the full 100 MW/200 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery storage system, while the second phase adds 564 MW of solar capacity. The project is expected to generate more than 3,000 GWh of electricity annually, which will be supplied to the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) denominated in USD. The project will also reduce carbon dioxide (Co2) emissions by more than 1.2 million tons per year (mt/y), according to the company. With the Obelisk project fully operational, along with Scatec's 380 MW Benban solar plant, the company now has around 1.5 GW of renewable energy capacity in operation in Egypt. Scatec stated that its near-term Egyptian portfolio includes more than 4.3 GW of renewable energy capacity and 4.1 GWh of battery storage capacity. The portfolio is expected to generate about 17 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually and provide grid stability support. Scatec is the controlling shareholder of the Obelisk project, while the National Bank of Egypt, Norfund and EDF Power Solutions are minority equity partners. The project was financed with support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), African Development Bank (AfDB), British International Investment (BII) and European Investment Bank (EIB), which acted as senior lenders. In June 2026, Scatec announced plans to invest up to $5 billion in Egypt over the coming two years across several areas, including renewable energy-powered desalination, green data centers, solar and wind projects, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and infrastructure supporting the country's green transition. Scatec develops, builds, owns, and operates renewable energy plants, with 6.4 GW generation and 2 GWh storage capacity in operation and under construction across five continents.

Scatec acquires 77 MW onshore wind project in Romania.

Scatec acquires 77 MW onshore wind project in Romania. Scatec ASA ("Scatec"), a leading renewable energy solutions provider, has signed an agreement to acquire the Urleasca onshore wind project in Romania from OX2, a leading European renewable energy developer. The 77 MW project is located in the Brăila county in south-east Romania and is supported by a Contract-for-Difference (CfD) covering approximately 43 MW of the capacity at an average price of EUR 71.3/MWh, with the remaining generation to be sold in the Romanian wholesale electricity market. The acquisition marks Scatec's entry into onshore wind in Europe and complements the company's existing solar portfolio in Romania, which includes the 190 MW Dobrun & Sadova solar projects currently under construction. Together, the projects establish a multi-technology renewable energy portfolio in Romania across solar and wind, in line with Scatec's strategy. A diversified portfolio across technologies and offtake structures, combining long-term contracted revenues with exposure to wholesale market prices, allows Scatec to actively optimise value creation across its European assets. The Urleasca project was developed by OX2, who will continue to manage the project through to commissioning under a Construction and Asset Transfer Agreement (CATA). Financial close is targeted in Q3 2026, and targeted COD is in the second half of 2028. "Urleasca is an attractive entry point into European onshore wind. The project has strong fundamentals, long-term revenue visibility through the CfD, and a structured development and construction arrangement with OX2 that gives us a disciplined path to commissioning. Combined with our solar projects already under construction in Romania, this positions Scatec with a more diversified renewable energy portfolio in one of Europe's most compelling markets for the energy transition," says Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog. The total project cost is estimated at EUR 168 million excluding VAT, and will be financed by a combination of non-recourse debt and equity, with a leverage of approximately 60%. Scatec will provide Asset Management and Operations & Maintenance services following commissioning. The transaction is subject to customary conditions precedent. Like what you are reading?
