The latest announcement is out from Chariot Oil & Gas ( (GB:CHAR) ).

Chariot Limited has sold its water business, including its 80% interest in the Oasis Water Platform and a proof-of-concept desalination project in Djibouti, to AquaNexus Holding for US$435,000 in cash, as it sharpens its focus on core electricity trading and generation activities within its Power division across southern Africa. The divestment removes a small, loss-making operation that generated US$162,000 in revenue and a US$100,000 loss in 2024, allowing Chariot to redeploy proceeds for general corporate purposes and streamline its portfolio around higher-priority energy and renewable power projects on the continent.
