IFC has approved a BRL550 million green and sustainability-linked loan to Brazilian energy company Neoenergia Coelba to help expand and strengthen the electricity grid in the Bahia region. The deal is the first to combine green use-of-proceeds with sustainability-linked financing features for a power distribution company in Latin America.

The funds will be used to upgrade, expand, and digitalise the borrower's distribution network. IFC also acted as sustainability coordinator on the deal and is helping Neoenergia Coelba develop its first sustainability-linked financing framework and establish corporate climate and gender targets, including the aim of reaching 10.7% of female electricians by 2026.
