"We are pleased with the success of the bond issue. The strength of the demand for the offer is a good indication of ongoing support for Contact's business and its strategic initiatives," Contact's Managing Director David Baldwin said.
Contact said in a statement that it intends to use the capital raised to support its capital investment program, including investment in geothermal development near Taupo, new gas-fired peaking capacity at Stratford, as well as the country's first underground natural gas storage facility near Stratford and for general operational purposes.
