Eurasian Development Bank (EDB), as the Resources Manager of the Eurasian Fund for Stabilisation and Development (EFSD; Fund), and the Kyrgyz Republic signed an investment credit agreement for US $110 million to be provided by the Fund to finance the commissioning of Unit 2 at Kambarata HPP 2. The document was signed by Dmitry Pankin, Chairman of the Management Board at EDB, and Adylbek Kasymaliyev, Minister of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The total project value is US $138 million, with the EFSD providing US $110 million. The credit is extended for twenty years, with a five-year grace period for principal repayments. The project is expected to be completed in three to four years.
It envisions undertaking necessary construction, procurement and installation to commission Unit 2 at Kambarata HPP 2, with a capacity of 120 MW, the supply of equipment for a 110 kV outdoor switchgear and transmission lines, and the construction of a 500 kV outdoor switchgear, as well as other infrastructure and systems to ensure efficient and safe operation of the plant.
The project is expected to enhance the Kyrgyz Republics energy security by increasing electric power generation to 1,140 GWh a year. In addition, it will help to improve the reliability and stability of power supplies to consumers, and the efficiency of use of the hydropower potential of the Naryn River. It is also expected to help ensure the effective use of water and energy resources of the Toktogul reservoir, alleviate winter power shortages in the country, and improve its foreign trade balance by possible increases in power exports.
