The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has signed an agreement with the government of Tajikistan to develop up to 200MW of solar energy through a public-private partnership (PPP). The IFC will serve as the government's transaction adviser, assisting with structuring, marketing, tendering, and negotiations with private partners. The project will be located in the Sughd province and is part of a larger initiative to introduce 2GW of renewable energy capacity in Tajikistan by 2026. This project is the first large-scale infrastructure project to be developed under a PPP model in Tajikistan. Additionally, the IFC has announced plans to invest up to $10 million in Tajikistan's first green bond issuance. [Extracted from the article]
