The move comes as Standard & Poor’s upgraded its credit outlook for Taqa to positive from stable, which is expected to lower borrowing costs.

The rating agency added that Taqa’s power and water business is projected to make a strong cash flow that may lead to an upgrade in the firm’s A credit rating.
