At the end of his Central Asia trip, EBRD VP Banking Matteo Patrone visited Kazakhstan’s largest city Almaty. He met with the Chair of the Agency for Regulation and Development of Financial Market of the Republic of Kazakhstan Madina Abylkassymova to discuss joint work on the new banking legislation, the development of capital markets and insurance sector reforms.

He spoke to members of the European Business Association of Kazakhstan, which unites more than 150 international and local companies.

Delivered in partnership with the World Bank Group's ESMAP, GIZ/GET.transform, and the Power Futures Lab, this intensive 9-month programme aims to empower key decision-makers to navigate competitive procurement for renewable energy (RES) and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

By expanding our collaborative efforts in existing Countries of Operation like Egypt, whilst building vital new relationships in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana, we are demonstrating our commitment to fostering technical capacity, mitigating financial risks and ultimately unlocking private sector investment for the energy transition.

Bulgaria accelerates its energy transition and reduces its reliance on fossil fuels.

We are providing a €30 million loan to Tenevo Solar Technologies, alongside €30 million in parallel financing from Raiffeisen Bank International, to support one of the largest battery storage projects in Bulgaria and strengthen the country’s energy security.

The rapid growth of battery storage capacity, which exceeded 5.4 GW/16 GWh at the end of August, is one of the country’s most significant energy transition achievements, positioning Bulgaria among the regional leaders in terms of renewable energy integration and decarbonisation.
