About Sound Energy PLC:
Sound Energy is a transition energy investment opportunity, listed on the UK
AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, with operations in Morocco centred
around onshore exploration, development and production of gas and advancing
renewable power generation initiatives. Gas is the focal transition fuel and
critical to the country's energy policy to move to sustainable, local
renewable energy, away from imported coal and hydrocarbon fuels. The company
has a 25-year development concession with a micro- LNG development underway at
Tendrara, the first major onshore gas resource in Morocco, and a larger Phase
2 piped gas project awaiting FID. Small scale LNG will supply the industrial
market, whilst the piped gas development is for the power sector. Exploration
wells are funded to support infrastructure led exploration potential. Together
these give the company significant opportunities for scalable growth on its
28,000 square km of onshore permits. Sound Energy is therefore playing a
pivotal role in responding to rising energy demand in Morocco and facilitating
the energy transition. This is further enhanced by Sound's recent early-stage
diversification into opportunities in renewable power generation and hydrogen
exploration in Morocco. Sound has strong stakeholder engagement and
partnerships with leading Moroccan companies, thereby leveraging in-country
expertise in renewable energy projects and its gas developments. Financially,
the company is focused on revenue targets from Phase 1 LNG production,
judicious investment for the Phase 2 piped gas development and prudent cost
management and balance sheet deleveraging to fund asset development
opportunities.
