The country’s first bank Kapital Bank continues its activities in the areas of sustainable development and green financing. In this regard, the bank and Azerbaijan Energy Regulatory Agency (AERA) have signed a cooperation agreement on providing concessional loans funded by the Energy Efficiency Fund.

The document was signed by Samir Akhundov, Chairman of the Board of AERA, and Farid Hidayatzade, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Kapital Bank.

The parties reached an agreement on regulating relations related to the provision of concessional loans aimed at promoting energy efficiency measures. This includes the terms of such loans, procedures for their accounting, monitoring of their intended use, repayment mechanisms, as well as the reporting obligations of the authorized credit institution to the agency.

Within this framework, the bank provides green loans to entrepreneurs and supports projects such as solar panel installations and electric vehicle charging stations.
