International Power PLC (IPR.LN) said Monday it has agreed
financing for the 815-megawatt coal-fired power plant it intends to
build in Indonesia.
The Japan Bank for International Cooperation will provide direct
loans totaling $729 million and nine commercial banks will lend
$486 million to the PT Paiton Energy consortium. The remainder of
the $1.52 billion project will be funded with equity from
International Power and its consortium partners Mitsui & Co.
Ltd. (MITSY), Tokyo Electric Power Co. Inc. (9501.TO) and and local
Indonesian company PT BHP.
International Power has a 40.5% interest in the project and will
invest $123 million of equity.
The Paiton power plant is expected to be fully operational in
2012 and has a 30-year power purchase agreement with the Indonesian
state utility Persero.
"Paiton 3 will add to our long-term contracted earnings stream
and demonstrates our ability to realize additional value from
existing sites," said Philip Cox, Chief Executive of International
Power.
At 1254 GMT International Power shares were up 1.0%, or 3 pence,
at 328p.
