In February 2021, a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses borrowed $250 million at a variable-rate, due 2028, secured by equity interests in four of the company’s solar electric production projects, the interest rate for which was swapped to a fixed rate of 3.39 percent.

In February 2021, a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses entered into an agreement with a tax equity investor for the financing of a portfolio of three of the Clean Energy Businesses’ solar electric production projects (CED Nevada Virginia). Under the financing, the tax equity investor acquired a noncontrolling interest in the portfolio and will receive a percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows. The tax equity investor’s funding obligation is subject to certain conditions precedent and a maximum funding obligation of $270 million. As of June 30, 2021, $99 million has been funded, with an additional $53 million funded in July 2021. The remaining amount is expected to be funded upon the satisfaction of the remaining conditions precedent, including the last of the three projects reaching commercial operation, which is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2021. The Clean Energy Businesses will continue to consolidate this entity and will report the noncontrolling tax equity investor’s interest in the tax equity arrangement. See Note P.

In March 2021, a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses agreed to issue $229 million aggregate principal amount of 3.77 percent senior notes, due 2046, that will be secured by equity interests in CED Nevada Virginia. The senior notes will be issued when each project reaches commercial operation, the proceeds from the sale of which will repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under a construction loan facility. In June 2021 and July 2021, CED Nevada Virginia issued $38 million and $61 million, respectively, of the $229 million senior notes, the proceeds from the sale of which repaid a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the construction loan facility. The remaining $130 million of senior notes are expected to be issued when the last of the three projects reaches commercial operation during the third quarter of 2021. See Note D.

During the first quarter of 2021, Con Edison optionally prepaid the remaining $675 million outstanding under a February 2019 term loan prior to its maturity in June 2021.

In May 2021, Con Edison redeemed at maturity $500 million of 2.00 percent 5-year debentures.

In June 2021, CECONY redeemed at maturity $640 million of floating rate 3-year debentures.

In June 2021, CECONY issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.40 percent debentures, due 2031 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.60 percent debentures, due 2061.

In June 2021, Con Edison issued 10,100,000 shares of its common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $775 million, after issuance expenses.

In June 2021, as part of the Clean Energy Businesses’ sale of a renewable electric production project, $104 million of 4.52 percent senior notes, due 2032 and $37 million of floating rate loans, due 2024 and loan-related interest rate swaps were assumed by the buyer pursuant to the sale agreement.
