Georgia Power, an electric subsidiary of Southern Co., said
Friday it issued a sustainability bond, adding it was the first
such bond by a U.S. utility.
The company said the 3.25% coupon represents the lowest 30-year
coupon for a publicly traded bond ever issued by any affiliate of
Southern Co.
The bond's net proceeds of about $742 million will be allocated
to fund sustainable projects such as spending with diverse and
small business suppliers and investments in renewable energy
projects, Georgia Power said.
