Notes to editors
Kibo Energy PLC is a multi-asset, Africa focussed, energy company positioned to address the acute power
deficit, which is one of the primary impediments to economic development in Sub-Saharan Africa. To this
end, it is the Company’s objective to become a leading independent power producer in the region.

Kibo is simultaneously developing three similar coal-fuelled power projects: the Mbeya Coal to Power Project
(‘MCPP’) in Tanzania; the Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project (‘MCIPP’) in Botswana; and the
Benga Independent Power Project (‘BIPP’) in Mozambique. By developing these projects in parallel, the
Company intends to leverage considerable economies of scale and timing in respect of strategic partnerships,
procurement, equipment, human capital, execution capability / capacity and project finance. Additionally, the
Company will benefit from its robust and experienced international blue-chip partnership network across its
project portfolio, which includes: SEPCO III (China), General Electric (USA); Tractebel Engineering
(Belgium); Minxcon Consulting (South Africa); ABSA / Barclays Africa); and Hogan Lovells International
LLP.
