Saudi Electricity signs $900m loan for power plant

RIYADH, May 15, 2016

Saudi Electricity Co (SEC) signed a $900 million loan agreement with the Export-Import Bank of Korea (Kexim) and other international lenders to help finance Shuqaiq power plant's construction, the utility said on Sunday.

The facility has a 13.25-year lifespan and is guaranteed by KEXIM. Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Deutsche Bank and Santander are among the lenders providing funding, the bourse statement said.

State-controlled SEC, the largest utility company in Saudi Arabia, has previously said that it expects the total cost of the project to be $3.2 billion.

It signed a contract in 2013 with South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries Company to build the 2,640 MW Shuqaiq power plant in southwestern Jizan province.-Reuters
