Company Information

Tlou Energy is an AIM and ASX listed company focused on delivering power in Botswana through the development of coal bed methane ('CBM') projects. Botswana has a severe energy shortage and is currently relying on expensive imported power and diesel generation to deliver its requirements. However, as the 100% owners of the most advanced gas project in the country, the Lesedi CBM Project ('Lesedi'), Tlou Energy provides investors with access to an immediate and longer term opportunity using domestic gas to produce power at lower costs than the current arrangements.

The Company is led by an experienced Board, management and advisory team including individuals with successful track records in the Australian CBM industry.

Since establishment in 2009 the Company has significantly de-risked the project in pursuit of its goal to become a significant gas to power producer and the Company has the most advanced CBM project in Botswana. It holds 10 prospecting licences covering an area of 8,300Km(2) and the Lesedi project already benefits from significant, independently certified contingent gas resources of 3.3 trillion cubic feet (TCF) (3C) as well as an initial independent gas reserve certification.

The first planned gas-to-power solution is expected to be delivered through a scalable project with the Botswana Government. Following successful implementation of this project the Company plans larger projects to provide further power to Botswana and the southern African region.
