Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Bank of China has agreed to extend US$371.5 million in loans to state electricity company PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) to finance the construction of the Tanjung Awar-Awar steam power plant in East Java.

The loans were fully supported by Sinosure, a government export credit insurance agency in China, PLN President Director Fahmi Moechtar said on Monday.

The loans, payable in 13 years including a grace period of 3 years, carried a floating interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), he said.
