1,25 Milliarden Euro für die grüne Transformation in nur 10 Stunden

(WK-intern) – Investoren sind begeistert von den grünen Anleihen von Ørsted

Die Investorennachfrage war enorm, als Ørsted gestern seine ersten grünen Anleihen auflegte.

In nur 10 Stunden wurden die Anleihen für 1,25 Mrd. EUR verkauft, fast 10 Mrd. DKK. Das Geld wird in neue und bestehende Offshore-Windkraftprojekte, die Umwandlung von KWK-Anlagen von Kohle in nachhaltige Biomasse, Energiesparprojekte und Energiespeicher investiert.

Die Emission von grünen Anleihen ist ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung unseres Übergangs zu grüner Energie.

Henrik Brünniche Lund, Leiter Investor Relations, sagt:
„In Ørsted wollen wir eine Welt schaffen, die ganz und gar auf grüne Energie setzt. Wir müssen die Art und Weise, wie wir die Welt antreiben, verändern. Von schwarzer zu grüner Energie. Das spiegelt sich auch in unseren Investitionen wider. 18-20 Mrd. DKK an Windenergie, Biomasse-Umbauten und die Installation von Remote-Read-Power-Meters. Mit Green Bonds laden wir Investoren dazu ein, sich uns an der grünen Transformation zu beteiligen. „

EUR 1.25 billion for the green transformation in 10 hours – investors enthusiastic about Ørsted’s green bonds

Investor demand was massive when Ørsted yesterday launched its first green bonds.

In just 10 hours, the bonds were sold for EUR 1.25 billion, almost DKK 10 billion. The money will be invested in new and existing offshore wind power projects, the conversion of CHP plants from coal to sustainable biomass, energy saving projects and energy storage.

Issuing green bonds is yet another step forward in our transition to green energy.

Henrik Brünniche Lund, Head of Investor Relations, says:
„At Ørsted, we want to create a world that runs entirely on green energy. We need to transform the way we power the world; from black to green energy. This is also reflected in our investments. For 2017 we expect them to amount to DKK 18-20bn in wind power, biomass conversions and the installation of remote-read power meters. With green bonds, we invite investors to join us in the green transformation.“

Earmarked towards green projects
Green bonds are like any other regular bond but with one key difference: the proceeds raised by the issuer are earmarked towards green investments, ie environmentally friendly assets or business activities. These projects must promote the transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient growth and a sustainable economy.

Our Green Bonds Framework, which is developed in alignment with the Green Bond Principles 2017, has been reviewed by the not-for-profit research institute Center for International Climate and Environmental Research (CICERO). CICERO allocated the framework a Dark Green Shading, which is the highest grading a green bond issuer can receive.
