The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “EBRD” or the “Bank”) has been requested to provide finance to Société Tunisienne de l’Électricité et du Gaz (“STEG” or the “Company” or the “Borrower”), Tunisia’s state-owned integrated power utility, for the reinforcement of their transmission infrastructure. STEG is Tunisia’s 100% state-owned vertically integrated national electricity and gas utility company, and is administered by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Energy (the “Ministry of Energy” or the “MoE”). STEG has the monopoly on distribution and transmission of electricity and gas and acts as the single buyer for all the electricity generation.
