In terms of financing the installation, both parties will provide parallel loans of US$21.5 million apiece to a specially created project company Ingulets Energo – 2 LLC. Once completed, the installation will generate 65,000 MWh of renewable energy per year and help reduce annual CO2 emissions by approximately 40,000 tonnes.
The investment was conducted under the EBRD’s US$282 million Ukraine Sustainable Energy Lending Facility III (USELF III) framework. Since the start of its operations in the country in 1993, the EBRD has made a cumulative commitment of almost US$14.7 billion across some 418 projects in Ukraine.
