It will ise 373,113 modules, mounted on trackers, 40 inverters and 30 substations connected to a high voltage substation. The plant is expected to generate 229 000 MWh/year for the designed 25 years of the operation.

EBRD is also providing a €31 million loan for a 30MW solar project in the Kyzylorda region of Southern Kazakhstan, again sponsored by Total EREN and Access Infra Central Asia.
