Ellevio AB (publ) publishes investor report for its green bond

The report contains a description of the projects financed through green funding and allocated amounts. The report is available in Swedish and English at ellevio.se

In June 2020, Ellevio issued its first green bond totaling SEK 1,650 million. The large interest led to that Ellevio increased the bond by SEK 350 million in August of the same year. The projects financed by the green bonds are the roll-out of the next generation of smart electricity meters and connections of more renewable electricity to the electricity grid.

- The electricity networks play a crucial role for society to meet the energy transition and climate goals, and there is great interest among investors to be part of the journey forward, says Jan Seveborg, Head of Treasury at Ellevio.

Ellevio's green bond framework was launched in 2019. The purpose is to offer the capital market opportunities to invest in projects that support the transition to an emission-neutral and climate-smart energy system. Projects that may be eligible for funding are those that contribute to the UN's goals for sustainable development. The framework has been reviewed by the independent climate and environmental research institute CICERO and has received the highest rating, "Dark Green".
