The Team provided advice on the cross-border transactions, comparing two different legislations, Kazakhstan and Singapore. The Kazakhstan Development Bank provided financing to Zhel Electric while the Singapore-based partner acted as the guarantor.

The Project’s investments amounted to US$42.2 million (19 billion Kazakhstani Tenge), and the implementation commenced in 2019. The President of Kazakhstan declared the Project a significant contribution to the development of renewable energy in the region. The Project is included in the 55-significant-project list of "Key projects of China-Kazakhstan cooperation in capacity building“.
