The 2017 value of green bonds issued is predicted to pass the $100bn mark for the first time this year, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The company has recorded $96bn of the bonds issued so far in annual, and expects another $39bn to be issued by the end of the year. The total of £135bn would represent a 35% increase on last year, with the largest single issuer in the US being Southern Power, which has sold over £3bn since 2015.
