<\/a> Masdar aims to raise USD 750 mn in debut green bond sale:<\/strong> UAE clean energy firm Masdar plans to raise as much as USD 750 mn in a maiden green bond issuance to help finance its ambitious global expansion plans, Chief Financial Officer Niall Hannigan told Bloomberg<\/a> at the Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Forum<\/a>, confirming reports we picked up<\/a> last Wednesday. The company will likely issue the bonds in 2H 2023, Hannigan added. It intends to move forward \u201csubject to market conditions,\u201d Reuters<\/a> reports CEO Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi saying at the forum on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Annual issuances could be in the pipeline: <\/strong>\u201cGiven the growth ambitions we have as a business and the pipeline we have in place, I would be expecting that we\u2019re likely to be an annual issuer,\u201d Hannigan told Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

The next steps:<\/strong> Masdar will publish its first green finance framework \u201cwithin weeks,\u201d Reuters quotes Al Ramahi as saying. Establishing a green or sustainable financing framework essentially lays the groundwork for a green bond issuance, head of MENA Debt Capital Markets at HSBC Khaled Darwish recently told<\/a> Enterprise Climate.<\/p>\n

Two areas it appears to be eyeing closely? Green hydrogen and US investment: <\/strong>Masdar is \u201cexploring\u201d prospects in the still-nascent green hydrogen sector, Hannigan told Bloomberg. The company is reportedly looking at using solar and wind assets to power green hydrogen projects in Egypt, Oman, \u201cand other areas with export and transport connections,\u201d the outlet notes. The firm is also eyeing M&A prospects as a \u201csignificant part of [its] growth strategy,\u201d with the US being \u201can increasingly attractive market,\u201d Hannigan said.<\/p>\n

IN OTHER MASDAR NEWS- <\/strong>Masdar is continuing its African expansion: <\/strong>The renewables giant inked two agreements to develop solar projects in Angola and Uganda, according to a statement<\/a>. The company will build 2 GW worth of solar projects in Angola with the Energy and Water Ministry, and 1 GW worth of solar projects in Uganda with the Energy and Mineral Development Ministry. No financial details were announced for the projects.<\/p>\n

Another step in Africa\u2019s green transition:<\/strong> The Emirati renewables giant announced two new<\/a>agreements<\/a> in Ethiopia and Zambia with a total capacity of 2 GW per country last week. The Zambian solar projects are estimated to cost USD 2 bn, but no financial details on the Ethiopian project were revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
