Proceeds description

This is the first green bond issued from New Mexico.
It is also the first Climate Certified Bond to fund specifically a wastewater
biodigester plant.
The proceeds will finance an improvement project for Santa Fe's Wastewater
Utility System, including two new anaerobic digesters, a new automatedcontrol system and a cogeneration facility that will generate electricity fromthe biogas produced by the digesters.
The upgrades will enable the treatment facility to consume no net electricity,
as well as reduce GHG emissions that would otherwise result from thewastewater.
