Live and actionable opportunities
Open, rolling, and forecast records that are worth checking now.
The loan will provide scarce long-term local currency financing to expand the high-voltage transmission network in the southern region of Kazakhstan, enabling integration of large-scale renewable energy generation capacity that is under development. The project will also improve the reliability of the grid for domestic supply and electricity exchange within the Central Asian Power System (CAPS).
The project will reconstruct a strategic 208-kilometer (km) section of the Kyzylorda and Zhezkazgan corridor in the Ulytau region, upgrading it to a higher two-lane standard, climate-resilient road, which will improve regional connectivity and boost trade and socioeconomic opportunities in central Kazakhstan. The project will also strengthen KAZH's institutional capacity in climate resilience, gender equality, and financial sustainability.
The proposed Project will gradually decommission and replace inefficient coal-based power generating units with combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) units with an installed capacity of up to 600 MW for electricity and 957 GCal/h for heat. The plant will be constructed at the existing site of the Almaty combined heat plant 2 (CHP-2) with all grid and heating pipeline infrastructure in place.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is proposing a loan of up to $15 million (or its yuan equivalent) to Microfinance organization “KMF” Limited Liability Company (KMF) to support the growth of its portfolio for financing micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), with a focus on women-led MSMEs (WMSMEs).
