<p>The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (<a href="https://www.ebrd.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EBRD</a>) has signed an agreement with a German company, Joachim Goldbeck Holding GmbH,  to develop a 100 MW solar project in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan. This will be the largest solar power project developed at one time in Central Asia.</p>
<p>EBRD will provide a local-currency loan equivalent to $51.3 million and there will be another loan of up to $22.2 million from the <a href="https://www.greenclimate.fund/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Climate Fund</a> (GCF). This will help Kazakhstan’s private sector to play a greater role in the power and energy sector, which is largely dominated by state enterprises.</p>
<p>A special-purpose company, SES Saran LLP, has been incorporated to implement the solar park project which is owned by Joachim Goldbeck Holding GmbH.</p>
<p>It is estimated that Saran solar project will help reduce carbon emissions by 93,500 tons per year and contribute to Kazakhstan’s national emission reduction targets.</p>
<p>The project is part of the EBRD-GCF Kazakhstan renewables framework. GCF has contributed $110 million and intends to increase investments in renewable energy, provide technical assistance and build institutional capacity for energy integration and carbon market policies and planning.</p>
<p>The EBRD has invested over €7.5 billion (~$ 8.5 billion) through 246 projects in the economy of <a href="http://www.ebrd.com/cs/Satellite?c=Page&amp;cid=1395236556162&amp;d=Mobile&amp;pagename=EBRD%2FPage%2FCountry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kazakhstan</a>.

<p><a href="https://mercomindia.com/ebrd-100-mw-solar-kazakhstan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Earlier</a>, EBRD announced that it would be financing the development of a 100 MW solar project in the Zhambyl region of southern Kazakhstan.</p>
<p><a href="https://mercomindia.com/ebrd-bank-audi-200-million-renewable-lebanon/">Recently</a>, Mercom reported that <a href="https://www.ebrd.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EBRD</a> also signed its first green economy financing facility (GEFF) in Lebanon. The EBRD and Bank Audi, the largest bank in Lebanon, joined forces for the expansion of renewables by providing $100 million each for green projects in Lebanon. This included the first loan under the EBRD’s GEFF for the country.</p>
