Lesedi is the company’s most advanced project and is located in Botswana’s Central District. Once in full production, Tlou believes 10MW of generation could provide annual revenue of approximately $10m.
Tony Gilby, Tlou’s Managing Director, said: “Signing of the 10MW PPA is a major step forward for Tlou and builds on the excellent progress made to date. It has taken some time and considerable effort to get to this point as all of those involved would appreciate. This achievement puts the company on a firm path towards development of the Lesedi power project and considerable growth potential.
“With strong demand for reliable and cleaner power in the region, this 10MW project is expected to be the start of much larger developments by the company.”
Tlou shares have surged Monday morning, currently priced at 3.16p, up 23.92%, falling from a high of 3.5p earlier in the session.
