Project Objectives The EBRD loan will finance the development, construction and operation of 1,500MW combined-cycle gas-fired power plant in the Syrdarya region of Uzbekistan. It will promote private sector participation in the energy market and strengthen the country's generation fleet with a more efficient and reliable capacity. Transition Impact The transition is expected to derive from multiple qualities including competitive reflecting one of the first private sector investments in the power sector of Uzbekistan. The Project is also expected to have a resilient element as it will contribute to reliability of electricity supply.
