“A loan deal worth $815 million, $785 million [of which is] in cash and $30 million in non-cash, with a 14-year repayment plan, was signed with Akbank, Garanti Bank, İş Bank and the Industrial Development Bank of Turkey (TSKB) on Oct. 27,” it said, adding that it would be used to refinance the existing debts of Zorlu Doğan Elektrik Üretimi A.Ş. and the planned Kızıldere 3 Geothermal Power Plant in the Aegean province of Denizli.
