Ecoener debuts on MARF with a 50 million euro Green Commercial Paper Programme

BME's Fixed Income Market, MARF, today admitted Grupo Ecoener's new Commercial Paper (CP) Programme for 50 million euros. This programme is the first to be registered by the company on the market and will allow it to raise funding by accessing qualified investors to diversify its sources of financing.

The CPs to be issued under the programme will qualify as green instruments, in accordance with Ecoener's sustainable financing framework and ICMA's Green Bond Principles (GBP). The issuer has obtained a second opinion from Sustainalytics. The proceeds of the issues will be used to finance projects aligned with the GBP.

Banca March is participating as Arranger, Registered Advisor and, together with Renta 4 Banco will act as Placement Entities in the programme. Banca March will also be the Payment Agent for the issues. J&A Garrigues has provided legal advice to Ecoener in connection with the registration of the Programme.
