At September 30, 2020, Sempra Energy Consolidated had an aggregate capacity of $6.7 billion in four primary U.S. committed lines of credit, which provide liquidity and support commercial paper. The principal terms of these committed lines of credit, which expire in May 2024, are described below and in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

No letters of credit were outstanding at September 30, 2020.

In addition to its committed lines of credit, IEnova had a three-year $100 million uncommitted revolving credit facility with Scotiabank Inverlat S.A. that was canceled in October 2020. At September 30, 2020, available unused credit on this line was $100 million. In October 2020, IEnova entered into a three-year $20 million uncommitted revolving credit facility with Scotiabank Inverlat S.A. (borrowings may be made in either U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos) and a three-year $100 million uncommitted revolving credit facility with The Bank of Nova Scotia (borrowings can only be made in U.S. dollars).
Letters of Credit
Outside of our domestic and foreign committed credit facilities, we have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit capacity with select lenders that is uncommitted and supported by reimbursement agreements. At September 30, 2020, we had approximately $560 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.
TERM LOANS
In March 2020 and April 2020, Sempra Energy borrowed a total of $1,599 million, net of $1 million of debt discounts and issuance costs, under a 364-day term loan, which had a maturity date of March 16, 2021 with an option to extend the maturity date to September 16, 2021, subject to receiving the consent of the lenders. Sempra Energy used the proceeds from the term loan to repay borrowings on its committed lines of credit and for other general corporate purposes. This term loan was repaid in full in September 2020.
In March 2020, SDG&E borrowed $200 million under a 364-day term loan, which has a maturity date of March 18, 2021 with an option to extend the maturity date to September 17, 2021, subject to receiving the consent of the lenders. Borrowings bear interest at benchmark rates plus 80 bps (0.95% at September 30, 2020). The term loan provides SDG&E with additional liquidity outside of its committed line of credit. SDG&E classified this term loan as long-term debt based on management’s intent and ability to maintain this level of borrowing on a long-term basis by issuing long-term debt. At September 30, 2020, this term loan was included in Current Portion of Long-Term Debt and Finance Leases on SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
WEIGHTED-AVERAGE INTEREST RATES
The weighted-average interest rates on the total short-term debt at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:

LONG-TERM DEBT
SDG&E
In September 2020, SDG&E issued $800 million of 1.70% first mortgage bonds maturing in 2030 and received proceeds of $792 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $8 million). SDG&E intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the offering to repay approximately $250 million of debt, prior to its scheduled maturity. As a result, this amount was classified as Current Portion of Long-Term Debt and Finance Leases on the SDG&E and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2020. SDG&E intends to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper.
In April 2020, SDG&E issued $400 million of 3.32% first mortgage bonds maturing in 2050 and received proceeds of $395 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million). SDG&E used $200 million of the proceeds from the offering to repay line of credit borrowings, and the remaining proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
SoCalGas
In September 2020, SoCalGas issued $300 million of senior unsecured floating rate notes maturing in 2023 and received proceeds of $298 million (net of underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $2 million). The notes bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR rate (or, under certain circumstances, a benchmark replacement rate), reset quarterly, plus 35 bps. SoCalGas may, at its option, redeem some or all of the floating rate notes at any time on or after March 14, 2021 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the notes being redeemed. SoCalGas intends to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper.
In January 2020, SoCalGas issued $650 million of 2.55% first mortgage bonds maturing in 2030 and received proceeds of $643 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). SoCalGas used the proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding commercial paper and for other general corporate purposes.
Sempra Mexico
In September 2020, IEnova offered and sold in a private placement $800 million of 4.75% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2051 and received proceeds of $770 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $30 million). IEnova used the proceeds from the offering to repay line of credit borrowings and for other general corporate purposes.
In November 2019, IEnova entered into a financing agreement with International Finance Corporation and North American Development Bank to finance and/or refinance the construction of solar generation projects in Mexico. Under this agreement, in April 2020, IEnova borrowed $100 million from Japan International Cooperation Agency, with loan proceeds of $98 million (net of debt issuance costs of $2 million). The loan matures in November 2034 and bears interest based on 6-month LIBOR plus 150 bps. In April 2020, IEnova entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a fixed rate of 2.38%. Also under the financing agreement, in June 2020, IEnova borrowed $241 million from U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, with loan proceeds of $236 million (net of debt issuance costs of $5 million). The loan matures in November 2034 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.90%.
