Nocart signs Agreement for delivery of power plants to Zambia
Cleantech Invest portfolio company Nocart, where Cleantech Invest recently increased ownership to 21.5%, has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with an independent power producer for the delivery of power plants to Zambia.
The MOA selects Nocart as the supplier of complete power plants for their upcoming projects. The first of potentially several upcoming projects is a 30MW hybrid power plant using solar and locally available biomass. The approximate value of this project for Nocart is estimated at 100 MEUR. The project is expected to be be delivered during 2017 and 2018. The specific terms of delivery will be set in a separate purchase agreement before project starts.
Nocart delivers distributed power plants combining solar, wind, bio and other energy sources as well as energy storage for utility grade electricity production. The heart of the delivery is Nocart’s proprietary software controlled Power Management Unit that controls the production, storage and distribution of power. Other components of the power plant are subcontracted from selected vendors.
Vesa Korhonen, CEO Nocart: "During last two years we have developed a significant project pipeline in Africa. We expect continued strong growth based on hard work and strong partnerships."
Alexander Lidgren, CEO Cleantech Invest: "The electrification of rural Africa is happening at such a rate that it is one of the fastest build-ups of new energy infrastructure ever to happen. We are happy to see that a large part of this growth is decentralised renewable energy and that Nocart is tranforming its technology leadership into rapidly growing and profitable business."
