Project Description

The loan agreement is signed to provide up to USD 85 million financing to Turkiye Sinai Kalkinma Bankasi ("TSKB") under the Turkey Mid-Size Sustainable Energy Financing Facility III ("MidSEFF III") for on-lending to private sector borrowers for renewable energy ("RE") and resource efficiency ("ResE") investments.

Project Objectives

MidSEFF III builds on the success of MidSEFF & MidSEFF II and is aimed at i) increasing financial intermediation for RE and ResE investments to close these sectors' remaining financing gaps in Turkey, ii) improving the Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) skills in technical assessment of a broader set of technologies, and iii) increasing the PFIs' knowledge of relevant EU environmental & social requirements and standards in assessing mid-size RE and ResE investments.

Transition Impact

MidSEFF III aims to make a significant transformational impact in three critical areas in addressing climate change challenges in Turkey by (i) accelerating the pace of investments in RE and ResE technologies, supporting a clean energy transition by reducing reliance on fossil fuels in an environmentally sustainable manner; (ii) upgrading from the local environmental standards for sustainable energy projects and aligning those with EBRD Environmental and Social Policy and Performance Requirements and relevant EU standards; and by (iii) increasing private sector involvement in the development and financing of mid-size sustainable energy investments by applying market-based mechanisms such as carbon markets.
