Adonis Pouroulis, CEO of Chariot commented:
"With our recent transaction offshore Angola, we have secured an economic exposure to oil producing assets which marks a new phase for Chariot as it introduces a material income stream into our Company. As a result of this deal, we have secured long-term production revenues which will underpin our future plans, our focus will now be on growing our asset base across our upstream portfolio and we are excited by the opportunities we are evaluating at the moment.
We are also extremely proud of what we have built within our Renewable Power business and what the team has achieved here alongside the Etana Energy team. We co-founded what is one of the fastest growing energy trading companies in South Africa today and have reached financial close on two utility scale wind projects with the support from high calibre financial institutions. Having completed these financings, we have laid solid foundations for the future and we are now looking to realise this underlying value and reinvest in our upstream growth to ensure we capture the opportunity to deliver most value to shareholders."
