The loan will be provided to Shobak Wind Energy PSC, a company majority owned by Alcazar Energy Partners. It is split between an A loan provided on the EBRD's own account for $26 million and a B loan funded by the Europe Arab Bank for the same amount. The Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector has also provided a parallel tranche of Islamic finance totalling $26 million alongside the EBRD's loan.
