SolTech’s subsidiary in China receives a new order that gives SEK 110.8 million during the contract period

SolTech Energy’s joint venture in China, Advanced SolTech Renewable Energy Hangzhou Co. Ltd., ASRE, has signed an order with JiangSu RunChang Rubber Technology Co. Ltd. The words apply to the installation of a solar power plant of 6 megawatts (MW) and is expected to generate annual revenues of approximately SEK 5.54 million. During the agreement’s 20-year maturity, the accumulated revenues are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 110.8 million. Just as in the case of the two most recent transactions, ASRE receives no subsidies on delivered electricity for this order either, but achieves good profitability in any case.

The plant will annually produce about 6,600,000 kWh. The customer undertakes to buy all the electricity that the plant produces for 20 years. The investment in the facility, which will continue to be owned by ASRE, amounts to SEK 39.24 million and construction start is planned for Q3, 2019.

CEO Stefan Ölander in a comment:
– In order to put this order in the right perspective, I want to highlight that it is larger than Sweden’s largest 5.5 MW solar park at Säve airfield just north of Gothenburg.
