Good Energy launches 7.25% corporate bond

 

Proceeds to help fund expansion in renewable energy generation capacity

 

Good Energy Group plc ("Good Energy" or "the Group"), the AIM quoted renewable electricity supplier, announces the launch of its first corporate bond ("Good Energy Bonds").

 

· The Good Energy Bonds offer investors a coupon of 7.25% per annum, paid half-yearly

· In addition, any Good Energy customer or generator investing in the Good Energy Bonds will be paid at maturity the equivalent to 0.25% for each year of being a customer and a bondholder

· The Good Energy Bonds have an initial term of four years and are being issued by Good Energy Group

· Looking to raise £5 million through the Good Energy Bonds, up to an over-subscription maximum of £15 million

· The Good Energy Bonds also provide investors with a strong social return, as funds raised from the Good Energy Bonds will be invested directly in UK clean energy infrastructure

· Investments can be made in multiplies of £500, with no maximum

· The Good Energy Bonds are an unsecured debt of the Company

 

The launch of the Good Energy Bonds is intended to raise finance for the Group to invest in increasing its own solar and wind generation capacity. The proceeds will contribute to the Group's overall objective of developing 110MW of its own renewable energy generation capacity by 2016; targeting 50% of its customer's future electricity supplies.

 

Good Energy has over 100,000 customers and generators, and has topped the Which? Customer Satisfaction Survey for electricity suppliers for three out of the last four years. It operates a 9.2MW wind farm which provides 16% of its electricity supply, with a further 8.2MW of wind-generated power capacity under construction. The Group is also now has a wind and solar farm development portfolio in excess of 200MW.

 

In 2012 the Company reported annual revenue of £28.2m with profit before tax of £1.4m.

 

The Group is also a founding member of the Social Stock Exchange, an exchange founded for connecting Social Impact Businesses with investors looking to generate social or environmental change as well as financial returns.

 

Juliet Davenport, OBE, Founder and CEO of Good Energy commented:

 

"We are delighted to launch the Good Energy Bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to strengthen our balance sheet and to help us to accelerate the build-out of our pipeline of UK renewable energy projects. This is increasingly important as we look to meet our commitments to our rapidly expanding customer base.

 

"We believe this product provides investors and customers with the opportunity to be a part of the development of the UK's green energy market and Good Energy's expansion in particular, while also providing a yield backed by a Group which has a strong financial track record."

 

Applications for the bond are due to close on 13th November 2013.
