The Company is also progressing potential vendor financing, secondary subordinated debt and partial asset disposal options to fulfil the remaining element of Project financing required to achieve year end FID. This mandate is a significant step towards reaching Final Investment Decision unlocking further the value of Tendrara Concession to Sound Energy shareholders, that can aid the provision of economical and secure gas supply for the local Moroccan power production and domestic markets.\u00a0 Domestic gas supply remains a highly credible energy source for Morocco amongst the difficult geopolitical situation of international energy supply&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sound Energy reports that it has entered into an Arrangement and Mandate letter with Attijariwafa bank of Morocco under which the Company has mandated the Arranger in relation to the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/morocco-attijariwafa-bank-to-arrange-debt-financing-for-tendrara-production-concession\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":8449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7442,7446,11],"tags":[10555,891,2042,7689,8401,7758],"class_list":["post-12372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-north-africa","category-top-news","tag-attijariwafa-bank","tag-financing","tag-pipeline","tag-sound-energy","tag-tendrara","tag-tendrara-production-concession","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Morocco-Tendrara.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-3dy","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":13621,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/morocco-sound-energy-provides-tendrara-project-financing-update\/","url_meta":{"origin":12372,"position":0},"title":"Morocco: Sound Energy Provides Tendrara Project Financing Update","author":"","date":"April 28, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Sound Energy, the transition energy company, is pleased to provide a financing update, including in relation to the Company's Tendrara Production Concession, onshore Morocco.
