EBRD approves $347 mln loan to Russian oil firm LUKoil (RIA NOVOSTI)

Release Date: 2009-09-08

The board of directors of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development approved on Tuesday a loan of up to 240 million euros ($347 mln) to LUKoil, Russia's largest independent crude producer.
The company will use the credit to finance a project for its subsidiary, the TGC-8 power generator, to modernize a thermal power plant in Krasnodar, southern Russia. The project is expected to cost a total of 333 million euros ($482 mln). LUKoil consolidated the controlling stake in TGC-8 and became its strategic investor last year as part of the restructuring of Russia's electric power system. Although the oil producer posted a 50% year-on-year drop in U.S. GAAP net profit to $2.3 billion in late August, it has performed relatively well amid the ongoing economic slump.
