JSC Atomenergoprom won a prize of Cbonds Awards in the "Green Bonds of the Year" category for issue of bond series 001P-01. The award ceremony took place at the 19th Russian Bond Congress on December 3.

JSC Atomenergoprom placed the first issue of "green" bonds of series 001P-01 with a nominal volume of RUB 10 bln on June 25, 2021. This was the first placement of a Russian issuer's bonds to fund renewable energy sources (RES). The resulted funds were channeled to refinance expenditures of the "Wind Energy" program.

The rating agency Expert RA (an independent verifier) confirmed that the issue meets the green bonds principles of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) and provisions of the Methodologic Recommendations for Development of Investment Activities in Green Funding in the Russian Federation VEB.RF. Expert RA also gave the rating of ruAAA to this bond issue.

"It is important for us to participate in development of mechanisms of "sustainable" and "green" financing in Russia that, in turn, supports our strategic priorities in implementation of sustainable ("green") projects. We seek to maximize the "green" constituent in our product list, which corresponds to the goals of sustainable development. We definitely consider wind generation and nuclear power such "green" activities owing to minimum greenhouse gas emissions. For us, it is important to see that the end user and market as a whole also view our work through the prism of sustainable development, consider our products environment-friendly and oriented for better quality of human living," Ilya Rebrov, Deputy Director General for Economy and Finance of ROSATOM, noted.

OPINION

Victor Murogov
This critical analysis of the history, state, and prospects of development of modern nuclear technologies shows that nuclear energy market has practically monopolized the design and construction of only one type of reactors (95% of NPPs under construction use pressurized water reactors), which necessitates training of focused specialists involved in the construction and operation of those nuclear power plants.
