Economic mechanism
Causal chain, not certainty — each step carries the variable it moves
- 1
Rating upgrade lowers incremental borrowing cost
Cost Applies to refinancing and new debt, not the existing fixed-rate stock
- 2
Interest cost declines gradually
Margin Effect is spread over the refinancing cycle
- 3
Capex funding capacity improves
Capacity Relevant for a capital-intensive renewables pipeline
