TESTIMONIALS

One of the priorities in coming years for ProCredit Bank Georgia is to finance utility scale PV projects. Assessing such cases is quite a challenge for banks, especially in the period of energy crisis and electricity price fluctuations on the markets. As my department is in charge of developing the green portfolio, and reneable energy portfolio in particular, I found the Green Finance Expert course to be very informative and useful. Theoretical knowledge and practical cases will help the bank to assess and finance utility scale PV projects.
