Voltalia sells a minority stake in its largest solar plant,
SSM1&2, located in the Serra Branca cluster in Brazil to STOA
STOA, an investment fund specialized in
infrastructure projects in developing and emerging
countries and Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies,
announce today STOA is acquiring a
33% equity stake in the
SSM1&2 solar plant,
Voltalia’s 320
megawatt solar power plant in
Brazil.
STOA has become a 33% shareholder in the company
that owns the SSM1&2 (Solar Serra do Mel 1&2) project, a
320 megawatt solar power plant currently under construction and
scheduled to come on stream in the first half of 2022. SSM1&2
is backed by five power sales contracts with an average duration of
16 years.
SSM1&2 is part of the Serra Branca cluster.
Entirely developed by Voltalia and located in the Brazilian state
of Rio Grande do Norte, Serra Branca is the world's largest wind
and solar cluster with a potential capacity of 2.4 gigawatts.
Voltalia is the controlling shareholder of a significant part of
the projects located in the region, with the other projects
divested to partners. In September 2020, STOA had already acquired
a 33% stake in VSM3 (Ventos Serra do Mel III), a 152 megawatt wind
power plant backed by a 20-year power sales contract with CEMIG, a
Brazilian state-owned electricity company.
In any case, Voltalia provides all or part of
the services associated with the development, construction and
maintenance of the divested or retained plants, with 1.2 gigawatts
of operating assets as well as 500 megawatts under construction and
700 megawatts under development.
STOA is an investment fund dedicated to
infrastructure projects in emerging countries. It was created by
Caisse des Dépôts and Agence Française de Développement (AFD).
Since STOA started operating in the region late
2018, the investment into SSM1&2 is STOA’s third investment in
Brazil (after the acquisition in 2020 of minority stakes in VSM3
wind farm and São Paulo’s Metro Line 6 project) and STOA’s fourth
investment in Latin America (after the investment into a wind farm
in Domican Republic this year).
”The consolidation of our partnership with
Voltalia on SSM1&2 solar plant confirms the relevance of STOA’s
investment thesis: providing long-term equity stakes at asset level
to our industrial partners and supporting them on all project’s
phases”, told Marie-Laure Mazaud, CEO of STOA.
"We are pleased to conclude this second
partnership with STOA. It illustrates our model of working with
long-term partners on the power plants developed, built and
operated by Voltalia," said Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
Next on the agenda: 2021
