Currently, Scatec ASA holds approximately 46% in Kalkbult and 44% in both Linde and Dreunberg. As per the agreement, Scatec ASA will reduce its stakes to about 13% in Kalkbult and 12% in Linde and Dreunberg through a two-phase transaction. These plants, with a combined capacity of 190 MW, are valued at ZAR 921 million (USD 50 million). Despite the sale, Scatec ASA will continue to provide Operations & Maintenance and Asset Management services.
