Anglian Water has completed its £500m shareholder equity injection programme after receiving the final £200m tranche, fulfilling the commitment first announced in 2025.

The latest funding will be transferred through the group structure to Aigrette Financing (Issuer) plc, Anglian Water’s unrated holding company borrowing vehicle, where it will be used to repay £200m of bank facilities due to mature in mid-June 2026.

The completion of the full £500m equity package follows an earlier £300m injection received in 2025 and represents a significant strengthening of the company’s financial position. The additional shareholder support is intended to improve balance sheet resilience, support refinancing requirements and provide greater financial flexibility at a time of heightened regulatory scrutiny across the UK water sector.

Anglian Water is the largest water and water recycling company in England and Wales by geographic area, providing water and wastewater services to around seven million customers across 14 counties in the East of England and Hartlepool.
