We are broadening our growth strategy with an ambition to become a global large-scale player in solar, hydro, wind and storage solutions, and the acquisition of SN Power announced today is an important part of this strategy”, says Raymond Carlsen, CEO of Scatec Solar.

Project pipeline increased by 900 MW to 6,520 MW in the third quarter, with new project additions in large growth markets - Brazil, Vietnam and India.
