Impact Report
Since the targeted projects are currently in pre-operational stages, the technical and environmental impact indicators have not yet been calculated. The expected impact indicators (installed capacity in MW, estimated annual generation in MWh, and avoided greenhouse gas emissions in tonnes of tCO2 equivalent/year) will be reported periodically following the commissioning of the respective assets
External Verification (Audit Report)
In accordance with the commitments set forth in the Green Finance Framework, for future reporting periods where funds are effectively allocated to projects based on GFC decisions, Electrica will request a limited assurance report from its external auditor.
Details regarding the July 2025 green bond issuance can be found on Electrica's website here, as well as on the webpages of the regulated markets on which they are traded.
