SSE PLC - Perth, Scotland-based electricity generation, transmission and distribution firm - Issues a EUR750 million 8-year green bond maturing September 5, 2031 at a fixed coupon of 4.0%. Explains the issuance is SSE's largest senior single tranche, and sixth green bond in seven years, and takes the firm's total issued green bonds to over GBP3.2 billion. Says it continues to make progress with delivery of its enhanced GBP18 billion net zero acceleration programme plus, set out in May 2023, which will see it more than double its renewables capacity by 2027. The green bond proceeds are earmarked to help finance and/or refinance SSE renewables projects currently under construction or recently completed such as Viking and Seagreen wind farms, as well as the world's largest offshore wind farm at Dogger Bank.
