This is why even the Americans don’t fully privatise their water supply. Yet another Thatcherite legacy that just won’t go away.
An issue here is with „Green bonds“ how completely undefinable they are that they can be used to fudge a balance sheet and separately what constitutes a pollution incident and how easy it is to cover up – those in the industry know what I’m in about.
The idea of green bonds are great although it actually facilities the waterwheel of horsesh*t that is the lack of action from Water companies. A lot of this has to also do with how much debt they can write off as it’s a cyclical business and how much is required to be payed to shareholders.
Offwat is also too soft – glad to see they’re being pushed into a stronger more centralised body.
