The World Bank has given Turkey a loan amounting to 325 million dollars for the creation of urgently needed gas storage facilities, network infrastructure and compressor stations. The loan has a grace period of seven years and a 13-year final maturity.
The aim of the loan is to meet the cost of building in Tuz Golu an underground facility which will have a capacity of storing some 960 million cubic metres of working gas and 460 million cubic metres of cushion gas.
