SSE PLC - Perth, Scotland-based energy company - Agrees with a group of 15 relationship banks to a new revolving credit facility alongside Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission PLC, totalling GBP3.0 billion and split into two GBP1.5 billion facilities. Both facilities will run to October 2029, with options to extend to October 2031. The SSE facility replaces a GBP1.3 billion revolving credit facility that was due to mature in March 2026 and a GBP200 million bilateral facility due to mature in October 2026. The Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission facility refinances and increases its existing GBP750 million revolving credit facility due to mature in November 2026.
SSE Chief Financial Officer Barry O'Regan said: "Our renewables and transmission businesses are growing strongly, delivering nationally important investments, which will make a significant impact as the UK seeks to meet renewables deployment and climate targets. Both SSE's and Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission's projects are mission-critical to these efforts and these new committed bank facilities provide a good liquidity base, consistent with our commitment to maintaining a strong balance sheet through financial discipline whilst delivering value-enhancing investment."
