·    Pyebridge second 2.7MW genset refurbishment progressing according to plan.

Pieter Krügel, MED CEO, commented: "We are also pleased to have agreed with RGO a lock-in of the MED shares received from Kibo Energy PLC, which provides further support to the MED business and shows RiverFort's long-term commitment. RiverFort has been very supportive of MED, and the Project Finance facility from RiverFort with Pyebridge as previously announced has been instrumental to turn the site into a profitable and cashflow positive asset. We are appreciative of RiverFort's ongoing support to the business.

"The submission of the maximum 8.1MW Capacity Market contract application is a record and exciting milestone for Pyebridge, and will result in increased gross profit income to the site when the contract is secured. Further, the refurbishment process at Pyebridge is progressing according to plan, and we are expecting to release a next revenue update shortly."
