Kibo Energy PLC (‘Kibo’ or the ‘Company’)
Update on MCPP in Tanzania
Kibo Energy PLC (“Kibo” or the “Company”), the multi-asset, Africa focused, energy company, has today
resubmitted the tender qualification document to the Tanzania Electricity Supply Company (“TANESCO”)
with regards to the Mbeya Coal to Power Project (“MCPP”). (NOTE: Also see RNS dated 07 November
2018)
Louis Coetzee, CEO of Kibo, said, “Given that much of the information within this 535-page document had
already been generated, we just needed to ensure that its collation complied with TANESCO’s revised
November 2018 requirements. With this now complete and having recently been recommended for grant of a
Special Mining Licence from the Mining Commission of Tanzania, we remain hopeful that 2019 will see the
swift advancement of the MCPP in tandem with our two other utility scale projects in Botswana and
Mozambique.”

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.
