The State Communal Enterprise “Astana Su Arnasy” (the “Company”) supported by the Akimat of Astana (the “Akimat”) approached the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “EBRD”) with a request to finance the priority investments in rehabilitation and modernisation of its water supply and wastewater management facilities resulting in enhanced operations efficiency, reduction in losses and improvements in environmental standards. Particular attention should be given to the increasing amounts of wastewater and excess sludge produced and the lack of alternative disposal and/or treatment for the sludge. The Company, a water distribution and wastewater treatment company, is 100% owned by the Akimat of the city of Astana. The Company is the only entity providing potable water supply services to the residents of the city of Astana (the “City’), around 850,000 inhabitants, including individual, commercial and public sector customers. The Project’s priority investment programme (the “PIP”) is estimated at around KZT 6 billion (about EUR 30 million) where the EBRD is planning to provide loan of up to KZT 5 billion (EUR 25 million). The final amount of the PIP will be finalised as a result of the Project Feasibility Study findings. The overall objective of the assignment is to prepare a Feasibility Study for the EBRD, the Company and Government of Kazakhstan (“GoK”), which the EBRD can use to appraise the Project and take a decision on the prospective financing.
