**Savannah Energy PLC** (LON:SAVE), the African-focused British independent energy
company sustainably developing high quality, high potential energy projects in Nigeria
and Niger, has announced that its Accugas subsidiary has commenced gas sales to 
First Independent Power Limited’s (“FIPL”) power plant, FIPL Afam, in Nigeria.

As announced in early 2020, Savannah signed a gas sales agreement with FIPL Afam
marking, at that time, Savannah’s first new gas sales agreement in five years. FIPL
is an affiliate company of Sahara Group, a leading international energy and infrastructure
conglomerate with operations in over 42 countries across Africa, the Middle East,
Europe, and Asia. Sahara Power Group is the largest privately-owned, vertically 
integrated power company in Sub-Saharan Africa with plans to expand its power generation
capacity in Africa to more than 5,000MW by 2023.

The FIPL Afam plant has a power generation capacity of 180MW. Following the successful
construction of a short pipeline to establish connection, and recommissioning of
the third-party pipeline linking FIPL Afam to Accugas’ network, Accugas has commenced
gas deliveries to FIPL Afam of up to a maximum daily nominated quantity of 35 MMscfpd.
The average daily nomination for this week is 25 MMscfpd.
