| Debt and Credit Facilities | DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES LINES OF CREDIT On January 17, 2018, pursuant to the terms of the Sempra Energy and Sempra Global credit facilities, the amounts available under the lines of credit were increased by $250 million, from $1.0 billion to $1.25 billion, for Sempra Energy and by $850 million, from $2.335 billion to $3.185 billion, for Sempra Global. At March 31, 2018, Sempra Energy Consolidated had an aggregate of approximately $5.4 billion in three primary committed lines of credit for Sempra Energy, Sempra Global and the California Utilities to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper. The principal terms of these committed lines of credit, which expire in October 2020, are described below and in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. Available unused credit on these lines at March 31, 2018 was approximately $2.2 billion. Our foreign operations have additional general purpose credit facilities aggregating $1.7 billion, with $1.3 billion available unused credit at March 31, 2018.
Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas must maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in each of the applicable credit facilities) of no more than 65 percent at the end of each quarter. Each entity is in compliance with this and all other financial covenants under its respective credit facility at March 31, 2018.
Outside of these 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 March 31, 2018, we had approximately $498 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

The Floating Rate Notes due 2019 are not subject to redemption at our option. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the Floating Rate Notes due 2021 at any time on or after January 14, 2019 at the applicable redemption price per the terms of the notes. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the fixed rate notes of each series at any time at the applicable redemption price for such series of fixed rate notes. We used a substantial portion of the net proceeds from this offering to finance a portion of the Merger Consideration and associated transaction costs, as we discuss in Note 5, and approximately $800 million to temporarily pay down commercial paper. Ranking The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, ranking on a parity in right of payment with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and guarantees. The notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Oncor Holdings, Oncor and their respective subsidiaries. INTEREST RATE SWAPS We discuss our interest rate swaps to hedge cash flows in Note 8.
