Kibo Energy PLC (KIBO.LN) shares rose on Wednesday after the company said its MAST Energy Developments Ltd. subsidiary has signed a preliminary agreement for the potential acquisition of five U.K. flexible-power sites.

Kibo said that under the deal, MAST would have the exclusive right to acquire five "peaking" power sites with a total capacity of 25.8 megawatts from a prospective developer. Such sites operate at moments of peak electricity demand.

MAST has until April 8 to complete due diligence, Kibo said.

Shares at 1036 GMT were up 10% at 0.83 pence, having earlier reached 0.85 pence.
