BPA has issued $76 million in green-certified revenue bonds to fund key transmission projects. These projects will enhance grid reliability, support electrification, and connect new carbon-free energy resources in the Pacific Northwest. “These green certified bonds are attractive to investors looking to fund projects that are helping to address the impacts of climate change,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Marcus Harris. “Anything we can do to lower interest costs for ratepayers is worth pursuing, and this green bond certification is no exception.” The bonds are certified green by the Climate Bonds Standard Board. https://lnkd.in/gmdB_uB2 #CleanEnergy #CleanEnergyFuture #GreenBonds #RenewableEnergy
