Infrastructure for Development Investing in Clean Energy
2
Rationale for Clean Energy Investments Private sector is dependent on electricity. Power shortages are a bottleneck to economic growth. Countries have untapped clean energy resources. Private sector can bring technical competence as well as capital to the sector. Development Rationale Capital requirements for power are large, and beyond the public sector. Estimated annual capital requirement of 40 BUSD in Africa. Renewable energy in particular is capital intensive. Investment Needs

Partnership with Scatec Solar 200 MWp built in South Africa & Rwanda 3 Activities to date Declining costsPotential future pipeline Scatec Solar & Norfund participated in South Africa’s renewable energy programme & have three projects Scatec Solar & Norfund have built the first East African utility scale solar park in Rwanda Projects’ total capital costs are ca 560 MUSD Scatec Solar & Norfund have agreed a new partnership Scope includes Project development Joint investment Focus on Africa Scatec Solar & Norfund have bid 270 MWp of new projects in South Africa & Uganda Other projects in pipeline in Namibia, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya Formalising the partnership The cost of solar has been dropping dramatically South Africa has experienced a price reduction of ca 70% over three years Time to operation is extremely short & risks are lower than with wind and hydro

Clean Energy Strategy Large hydro: SN Power & Agua Imara w Statkraft & BKK Solar: Partnership with Scatec Solar. Industrial partners with experience and local partners with presence and local knowledge Partners Proven technologies To date: Hydro, wind, solar May invest in geothermal and gas in future Technology Main focus on equity Mezzanine Debt & guarantees Instruments Focus on Southern and Eastern Africa; Central America Can provide debt in broader geography Geography

Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company First private power plant in Zambia 10 BackgroundThe Mulungushi Power Plant Norfund’s participationExpansion possibility: Muchinga Power Company In 2011 Agua Imara acquired 51% of LHPC LHPC currently owns two hydropower plants, Mulungushi and Lunsemfwa, with a combined capacity of 56 MW LHPC is the only private member of the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) Expansion & replacement options are currently being explored Norfund owned direct and indirect stakes in Agua Imara at the time of the acquisition Norfund now has an indirect stake via SN Power Effectively a 17% stake in LHPC LHPC fully owns the Muchinga Power Company, With a license to develop a new hydropower plant with a potential capacity of 250-300 MW. The new plant will be located downstream of the existing Lunsemfwa plant.
