UTILITIES: Thames Water (Caa1[N]/CCC[N]/NR): Ofwat Fines
UTILITIES
- Thames has been fined £57mn by Ofwat for missing environmental and efficiency KPIs, despite YoY improvement taking it into the “average” category, from “lagging”. The sector was fined £158mn in total.
- While a small number, this again highlights investment risk at a time when it’s trying to raise new equity post a likely restructuring.
- Separately Global Capital reports that a £410mn Class A RCF due yesterday has been rolled over. It appears creditors are happy to give it some time to work throught restructuring proposals.
