Due to Eskom scheduling their contractual maintenance on our power infrastructure in the
first week of September 2024, we have aligned our annual maintenance program at the
Virginia Gas Plant to coincide, minimizing our downtime. During the period, we will retain
helium in our tanks, to optimize the cool-down to reduce time required when restarting the
plant. During the maintenance shutdown, we will focus on connecting some additional wells,
which will increase the gas supply to the plant resulting in a further increased production
profile post the maintenance period.
"The financial security offered by Stef and Nick shows the clear level of commitment and
certainty that management have over the project and their complete alignment with our
valued shareholders as we prepare for the next chapter in Renergen's exciting journey. We
also welcome Standard Bank as a key figure in the IPO process, bringing an elegant mix with
deep knowledge on South Africa and the energy landscape in the region, which will be a
powerful addition to the marketing team to foreign investors less familiar with the region and
its prospects," said Chairman Dr David King.
