COMMENT '...anything that can reduce costs and make carbon savings has to be good'

摘要

United Utilities (UU) has become the lastest water company to secure a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) to help fund its capital delivery programme. The utility has secured the £500M loan over 18 years to finance improvements to its water and wastewater networks. The company joins the likes of Welsh Water and Southern Water which last year received EIB loans of £230M and £100M, respectively. These loans were also to contribute to the two water companies' respective capital delivery programmes.
