Norsk Renewables expands its presence in South Africa through strategic
investment in a renewable energy project.

Stavanger, 28 August 2024 - Norsk Renewables AS is pleased to announce an
investment into Great Karoo Phase 1 (Ptw) Ltd, a project company, that holds
ownership of a major renewable energy project in South Africa. This project
includes a 300 MW wind project and a 300 MW solar PV project, both in the
Northern Cape province. This constitutes an important first step of the
previously mentioned 915 MW Joint Venture between Norsk Renewables, Valinor, and
NexGrid (previously named Musina Flair Generation).
The Great Karoo Phase 1 (Ptw) Ltd. is a partnership between Norsk Renewables,
Valinor, and NexGrid. The project company shareholding will be as follows:
Valinor will hold 43%, NexGrid 40%, and Norsk Renewables 17% of the shares.
Norsk Renewables' involvement in the project company strengthens its strategic
position in the South African renewable energy market, expanding beyond its
existing 315 MW solar PV project in the northern part of the country. The
investment aligns with the company's strategy to diversify its energy portfolio,
incorporating wind and solar power as well as battery energy storage systems.
"We are excited to finalize this agreement, which marks a significant milestone
in our growth journey. By investing a stake in this Great Karoo Phase 1, Norsk
Renewables not only broadens its renewable energy portfolio but also reinforces
its commitment to sustainable development in South Africa. We look forward to
working closely with Valinor and NexGrid to bring these projects to fruition,"
said Torbjørn Elliot Kirkeby-Garstad, CEO of Norsk Renewables.
The investment underscores Norsk Renewables' strategy of pursuing growth
opportunities in high-potential markets and plays a critical role in addressing
South Africa's energy needs, leveraging the combined expertise and resources of
its partners.
