Tlou Energy falls short of fundraising target

Coming soon: Tlou Energy has a 10MW contract with the Botswana Power Corporation

Tlou Energy, the country’s most advanced Coal Bed Methane (CBM) developer, recently raised A$6.58 million (P57.1m) through an offer of additional equity to shareholders, an amount below the A$10.6 million (P92.6m) the firm was hoping to get.

The bid however underperformed with the majority of the funding, or A$5 million (about P45m) coming from the underwriter of the transaction.
