Kibo Energy PLC, the multi-asset, Africa-focused, energy company, has signed a new expanded collaboration agreement with General Electric (GE) to work with Kibo towards the development of its portfolio of energy projects in Tanzania, Botswana and Mozambique, as well as enhancing its strategy of delivering power solutions that alleviate Africa’s energy shortage.

The collaboration agreement was signed while Louis Coetzee, Kibo CEO, was attending the annual GE Global Leader and Customer Summit in New York this week.

The key terms of the collaboration agreement include that GE will:

  • Provide full technical support for present and future power projects and will be the preferred technology partner and supplier to KIBO.
  • Collaborate with KIBO to actively develop, create and facilitate new project opportunities as well as to support and work with KIBO in raising funding and funding opportunities for the various Kibo projects (‘Projects’).
  • Support and assist KIBO with technical and commercial advice in its efforts to secure appropriate Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) for the Projects.
  • Work with the EPC contractor to optimise design of the Projects, including finalising an appropriate partnership and Division of Responsibility (DORI with the preferred EPC partner); and
  • Provide social advocacy for Projects with all stakeholders in the various jurisdictions.

Coetzee said: “The expansion of our agreement with GE is testament to both the quality of our projects and the strategy we are implementing in Africa to alleviate the acute energy deficit being experienced by many countries on the continent. We have three active and live projects which all present opportunities to leverage this agreement and optimise their delivery. We look forward to continued cooperation and delivering on our current and any potential future energy projects in tandem with GE and our other international partners for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
