Long-Term Debt Financing Transactions
During 2020, PSEG and its subsidiaries had the following Long-Term Debt issuances, maturities and redemptions:
PSEG
issued $550 million of 0.80% Senior Notes due August 2025,
issued $550 million of 1.60% Senior Notes due August 2030,
issued $96 million of 8.63% Senior Notes due April 2031 in exchange for a like amount of 8.63% Senior Notes due April 2031 originally issued by PSEG Power, and
retired a $700 million Term Loan at maturity.
PSE&G
issued $300 million of 2.45% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due January 2030,
issued $300 million of 3.15% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due January 2050,
issued $375 million of 2.70% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due May 2050,
issued $375 million of 2.05% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due August 2050,
retired $250 million of 3.50% Medium-Term Notes, Series G, at maturity, and
retired $9 million of 7.04% Medium-Term Notes, Series A, at maturity.
PSEG Power
retired $406 million of 5.13% Senior Notes at maturity, and
cancelled $96 million of 8.63% Senior Notes that were exchanged for a like amount of 8.63% Senior Notes due April 2031 issued by PSEG.
Debt Covenants
PSEG Power’s existing credit agreements and senior notes contain covenants restricting the ability of PSEG Power and its subsidiaries that guarantee its indebtedness from consummating certain mergers, consolidations or asset sales. The disposal of PSEG Power’s non-nuclear generating fleet could, depending on the structure of such transaction, among other factors, trigger a default under one or more of these provisions. For these reasons, or for other reasons, PSEG Power may decide, or be required, to seek amendments or waivers under its credit agreements and may redeem its outstanding senior notes, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium. Whether such amendments, waivers or redemptions will be required will depend on a number of factors, including the structure of any transaction resulting from the strategic review, and any actual redemption price would depend on the applicable treasury rate in effect at such time. It is likewise possible that the ultimate outcome of the process may result in a transaction, or may result in no transaction at all, where the PSEG Power notes are not redeemed. If PSEG Power is required to redeem its senior notes, the cost of such redemption would be material.
Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of PSEG Power, primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and, from time to time, short-term loans. PSE&G maintains its own separate commercial paper program to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Each commercial paper program is fully back-stopped by its own separate credit facilities.
The commitments under the $4.2 billion credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group. As of December 31, 2020, the total available credit capacity was $3.3 billion.
As of December 31, 2020, no single institution represented more than 9% of the total commitments in the credit facilities.
As of December 31, 2020, the total credit capacity was in excess of the anticipated maximum liquidity requirements over PSEG’s 12-month planning horizon, including access to capital to meet redemptions.
Each of the credit facilities is restricted as to availability and use to the specific companies as listed in the following table; however, if necessary, the PSEG facilities can also be used to support our subsidiaries’ liquidity needs.
The total credit facilities and available liquidity as of December 31, 2020 were as follows:

PSE&G had $100 million outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 0.28% under its Commercial Paper Program as of December 31, 2020.
Except as otherwise noted in the table above, in March 2020, PSEG, PSE&G and PSEG Power and their respective lenders agreed to extend the expiration dates on their credit agreements from March 2023 to March 2024.

(A)Includes a floating-rate term loan of $700 million at PSEG as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of the term loan debt (Level 2 measurement) approximates the carrying value because the interest payments are based on LIBOR rates that are reset monthly and the debt is redeemable at face value by PSEG at any time.(B)Given that these bonds do not trade actively, the fair value amounts of taxable debt securities (primarily Level 2 measurements) are generally determined by a valuation model that is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology. The fair value amounts above do not represent the price at which the outstanding debt may be called for redemption by each issuer under their respective debt agreements.

Long-Term Debt Financing Transactions
During 2020, PSEG and its subsidiaries had the following Long-Term Debt issuances, maturities and redemptions:
PSEG
issued $550 million of 0.80% Senior Notes due August 2025,
issued $550 million of 1.60% Senior Notes due August 2030,
issued $96 million of 8.63% Senior Notes due April 2031 in exchange for a like amount of 8.63% Senior Notes due April 2031 originally issued by PSEG Power, and
retired a $700 million Term Loan at maturity.
PSE&G
issued $300 million of 2.45% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due January 2030,
issued $300 million of 3.15% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due January 2050,
issued $375 million of 2.70% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due May 2050,
issued $375 million of 2.05% Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series N, due August 2050,
retired $250 million of 3.50% Medium-Term Notes, Series G, at maturity, and
retired $9 million of 7.04% Medium-Term Notes, Series A, at maturity.
PSEG Power
retired $406 million of 5.13% Senior Notes at maturity, and
cancelled $96 million of 8.63% Senior Notes that were exchanged for a like amount of 8.63% Senior Notes due April 2031 issued by PSEG.
Debt Covenants
PSEG Power’s existing credit agreements and senior notes contain covenants restricting the ability of PSEG Power and its subsidiaries that guarantee its indebtedness from consummating certain mergers, consolidations or asset sales. The disposal of PSEG Power’s non-nuclear generating fleet could, depending on the structure of such transaction, among other factors, trigger a default under one or more of these provisions. For these reasons, or for other reasons, PSEG Power may decide, or be required, to seek amendments or waivers under its credit agreements and may redeem its outstanding senior notes, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium. Whether such amendments, waivers or redemptions will be required will depend on a number of factors, including the structure of any transaction resulting from the strategic review, and any actual redemption price would depend on the applicable treasury rate in effect at such time. It is likewise possible that the ultimate outcome of the process may result in a transaction, or may result in no transaction at all, where the PSEG Power notes are not redeemed. If PSEG Power is required to redeem its senior notes, the cost of such redemption would be material.
Short-Term Liquidity
PSEG meets its short-term liquidity requirements, as well as those of PSEG Power, primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and, from time to time, short-term loans. PSE&G maintains its own separate commercial paper program to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Each commercial paper program is fully back-stopped by its own separate credit facilities.
The commitments under the $4.2 billion credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group. As of December 31, 2020, the total available credit capacity was $3.3 billion.
As of December 31, 2020, no single institution represented more than 9% of the total commitments in the credit facilities.
As of December 31, 2020, the total credit capacity was in excess of the anticipated maximum liquidity requirements over PSEG’s 12-month planning horizon, including access to capital to meet redemptions.
Each of the credit facilities is restricted as to availability and use to the specific companies as listed in the following table; however, if necessary, the PSEG facilities can also be used to support our subsidiaries’ liquidity needs.
The total credit facilities and available liquidity as of December 31, 2020 were as follows:

PSE&G had $100 million outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 0.28% under its Commercial Paper Program as of December 31, 2020.

Total Long-Term Debt$16,180 $19,143 $15,108 $16,723 
(A)Includes a floating-rate term loan of $700 million at PSEG as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of the term loan debt (Level 2 measurement) approximates the carrying value because the interest payments are based on LIBOR rates that are reset monthly and the debt is redeemable at face value by PSEG at any time.(B)Given that these bonds do not trade actively, the fair value amounts of taxable debt securities (primarily Level 2 measurements) are generally determined by a valuation model that is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology. The fair value amounts above do not represent the price at which the outstanding debt may be called for redemption by each issuer under their respective debt agreements.
