UFD, the Naturgy Group electricity, will invest €1.33 billion up to 2028 to strengthen and digitalise its electricity grid in Spain.

Naturgy, through its international electricity generation subsidiary GPG, and also Kuwait Investment Authority (through Wren House Infrastructure Management, its platform for direct investments in infrastructure) has inaugurated the Crookwell II wind farm 90 km from the Australian capital Canberra within the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) in New South Wales.
The issue, for a total amount of 265 million Brazilian Reais, will be used to repay expenses, costs and debts incurred for the construction of the Sertão I Solar and Sobral I Solar plants, which have a joint power generation capacity of 68 MW. These are two of the first issues with these features carried out in Brazil for the financing photovoltaic plants, although it is a common way of financing wind-power and transmission projects.
