Try Dealroom →, has issued £70,000,000 of 5.926% guaranteed notes maturing on October 5, 2031. The notes, guaranteed by Severn Trent Water, were issued under the group's €14 billion Euro Medium Term Note Programme. Final Terms were confirmed via RNS on October 6, 2026.
What's the endgame? The financing vehicle uses fixed-rate guaranteed notes to raise long-term, stable capital for Severn Trent Water, one of the UK's regulated water and wastewater utilities. That funding supports the group's infrastructure investment commitments across the Midlands and mid-Wales.
How it's structured: The parent guarantee from Severn Trent Water, the regulated operating company, adds credit support for noteholders — a common feature in UK regulated utility debt programmes. The €14 billion programme lets the group raise debt across multiple tranches and currencies.
What's next? The Final Terms, dated October 5, 2026, must be read alongside the base prospectus dated July 16, 2026. They have been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority's Electronic Submission Service and will be accessible through its National Storage Mechanism.
The signal: The issuance shows regulated UK utilities continuing to tap bond markets for long-dated funding, with the 5.926% coupon reflecting the current cost of such borrowing. For investors, the parent guarantee and regulated-utility status remain the core draw of these programmes.
