TotalEnergies has signed an agreement with Scatec, a Norwegian renewable energy company, to acquire 100% of its subsidiary SN Power, which holds interests in renewable hydropower projects in Africa, through a joint venture (51% SN Power) with Norfund and British International Investment (BII).
As a result of this transaction, which is subject to certain previous conditions, TotalEnergies will acquire a 28.3% stake in the Bujagali hydropower plant currently in operation in Uganda. With a capacity of 250 MW, it covers more than 25% of the country’s peak electricity demand.
TotalEnergies will also acquire minority stakes in two projects under development in Rwanda (206 MW) and Malawi (360 MW).
