Debt and Credit Ratings

RWE’s financing requirements are categorised into three pillars. The first pillar supports the funding of RWE’s growth strategy. The second pillar reflects the liquidity needs to ensure that daily operations and commodity trading activities run smoothly. The third pillar contains credit support lines to foster the operational business.

RWE uses a mix of tailored financing instruments to meet the requirements of each pillar and to maintain diversified financing options for the group:

  • Bond issuances 
  • Credit facilities 
  • Commercial Paper issuances

Our growth strategy aims to further expand our renewables and flexible generation portfolio. Correspondingly, we have a clear commitment to a sustainable funding strategy.

To ensure efficient financing, RWE aims to maintain a stable credit rating in the investment-grade space.
