With a staggering 51% increase in proportionate revenues, amounting to NOK 2,302 million compared to NOK 1,528 million in the previous year, Scatec is solidifying its role as a front-runner in the industry.
Solid Performance and Strategic Milestones
The company’s EBITDA also rose by 19%, hitting NOK 1,130 million, significantly higher than the previous quarter’s figure of NOK 951 million. Notably, power production revenues surged to NOK 1,312 million, mainly fueled by exceptional growth in the Philippines. This includes a positive impact from the approval of ancillary services contract rates, contributing NOK 231 million to revenue.
Operational Developments
Despite a slight decrease in total power production, which reached 940 GWh compared to 995 GWh in the preceding quarter, Scatec remains poised for growth. CEO Terje Pilskog emphasized the company’s dedication to a self-funded growth strategy, highlighting that the results reinforce their resilience and capacity to scale operations effectively.

New Opportunities in South Africa
In South Africa, Scatec achieved a significant milestone by being awarded 846 MW of solar power in the latest round of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program (REIPPPP). Additionally, they secured a 123 MW/492 MWh battery storage project, which underscores the growing demand for renewable energy solutions in the region.
Financial Flexibility and Debt Management
The financial health of Scatec is further enhanced by their proactive approach to debt management.
