Gazprombank Management Board deputy chairman Alexey Belous said: “Successful experience in the VetroSGC project made it possible to arrange financing of the VetroSGC-2 project in the shortest possible time and optimise the level of support from the project initiators.

“With the VetroSGC project currently underway, the total Rosatom green capacity financed by the bank reached 1GW, with a value of over 100 billion rubles ($1.32bn).

“The focus on low-carbon energy sources has been growing significantly in recent years, and Gazprombank is actively financing sustainability projects.”

The bank has financed the first Rosatom project since 2017 to build 660MW of green capacity. Of this, 360MW has already been commissioned and the remaining 300MW is scheduled to begin operations by the end of this year.
