Electricité de France (EDF) today set a new high for a green bond - a benchmark-sized EUR1.4 billion (nearly $1.9bn). A terrific achievement.
The bond was two times over-subscribed - so I guess that's another EUR1.4bn that's still looking for a green home.
Ratings are A+ S&P / Aa3 Moody’s / A+ Fitch. The bonds are tied to EDF's renewable energy assets - which makes them a climate bond in our eyes.
