Scatec Solar expands in Ukraine
Scatec Solar has secured two projects in Ukraine with a combined capacity of 121MW. Estimated to carry a total capex of €137m, the projects are expected to be grid connected by the end of 2019. They will be beneficiaries of Ukraine’s 10-year feed-in tariff (FiT) scheme. Scatec has said it will seek equity partners to help bring the projects over the line. The company said it was pursuing 220MW of additional capacity in the country.

PFI Comment
Securitisation to the rescue
Securitisation, the fancy financing technique that played its part in the global financial crisis in 2008, could be utilised to pump valuable funds into more challenging emerging markets. Certainly, the need is there; the numbers showing actual investment in these markets is disappointing.
