Sales of Customer Accounts Receivable (Exelon and Generation)
On April 8, 2020, NER, a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity, which is wholly-owned by Generation, entered into a revolving accounts receivable financing arrangement with a number of financial institutions and a commercial paper conduit (the Purchasers) to sell certain customer accounts receivable (the Facility). The Facility, whose maximum capacity is $750 million, is scheduled to expire on April 7, 2021, unless renewed by the mutual consent of the parties in accordance with its terms. Under the Facility, NER may sell eligible short-term customer accounts receivable to the Purchasers in exchange for cash and subordinated interest. The transfers are reported as sales of receivables in Exelon’s and Generation’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated interest in collections upon the receivables sold to the Purchasers is referred to as the DPP, which is reflected in Other current assets on Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On April 8, 2020, Generation derecognized and transferred approximately $1.2 billion of receivables at fair value to the Purchasers in exchange for approximately $500 million in cash purchase price and $650 million of DPP.
The following table summarizes the impact of the sale of certain receivables:

Proceeds from new transfers$1,889 
Cash collections received on DPP2,518 
Cash collections reinvested in the Facility4,407 
Generation’s risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable is limited to the DPP outstanding.  Payment of DPP is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred, which have historically been and are expected to be immaterial. Generation continues to service the receivables sold in exchange for a servicing fee. Generation did not record a servicing asset or liability as the servicing fees were immaterial.
Generation reflected the cash proceeds received upon sale in Net cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The collection and reinvestment of DPP is recognized in Net cash provided by investing activities of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
See Note 13 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities and Note 16 — Variable Interest Entities for additional information.
Other Purchases and Sales of Customer and Other Accounts Receivables (All Registrants)
Generation is required, under supplier tariffs in ISO-NE, MISO, NYISO, and PJM, to sell customer and other receivables to utility companies, which include the Utility Registrants. The Utility Registrants are required, under separate legislation and regulations in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of Columbia, and New Jersey, to purchase certain receivables from alternative retail electric and, as applicable, natural gas suppliers that participate in the utilities' consolidated billing. The following tables present the total receivables purchased and sold.
