Thames Water asks for £2.4bn more to avoid going bust this year or early 2027
Thames Water has requested an additional £2.4 billion from creditors to stave off insolvency, saying it cannot secure a refinancing arrangement without the extra funds. The London‑based utility warned that without this injection it would collapse either later this year or by early 2027. The request comes amid mounting debts and regulatory pressure and potential service disruptions.
