Spain's Electricity Deficit Amortisation Fund (FADE) has sold €89 million in a 2026 bond with a 5.75% coupon, according to information sent to the stock market regulator on Monday.
The bonds, designed to transfer debt accumulated by power companies to the state-backed institution, have been subscribed by BBVA, it said. They were priced at 98.107 with a yield of 5.957%.
Spanish utilities have a deficit of around €28 billion after years of regulated power rates that do not cover the costs of generating and distributing electricity in Spain.
