Uisce Éireann has a statutory borrowing limit of €2 billion as per section 35 of the Water Services (No. 2) Act 2013. In June 2020, the Minister for Finance provided a term loan facility to Uisce Éireann to the end of 2024.

Uisce Éireann Debt Draw Down by Year

The NTMA provides a €350 million credit facility to Uisce Éireann to fund short-term working capital funding requirements. The facility is not intended as funding for long-term capital investment with the loan balance cleared at year end.

Uisce Éireann no longer has any commercial borrowings other than a €10m bank overdraft facility.
