A non cash loan facility of Rp12 trillion was also signed on that occasion to back up procurement and facility of treasury line of US$950 million to pay debt in foreign exchange and hedging in line with the regulation of the central bank.
"PLN has strong cash but demand for power is growing fast. PLN has to keep pace with the fast growing demand by building the power infrastructure. We thanks banks for their support. Hopefully the cooperation would continue," PLN's President Director Sofyan Basir said in a statement.
