Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Capitalization | Capitalization In February 2023, CECONY issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.20 percent debentures, due 2033. In March 2023, Con Edison entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (ASR Contracts) with two dealers to repurchase $1,000 million in aggregate of Con Edison’s Common Shares ($.10 par value) (Common Shares). Pursuant to the ASR Contracts, Con Edison made payments of $1,000 million in aggregate to the dealers and received initial deliveries of 8,730,766 Common Shares in aggregate that were recorded in treasury stock at fair value based on the closing price on March 6, 2023 of $91.63, of $800 million. The remaining $200 million was recorded as additional paid-in-capital, representing the value of the forward contract to purchase additional shares. The final number of Common Shares to be received from the dealers will be based on the volume-weighted average share price of Common Shares during the term of the applicable transaction, less a discount. At settlement, under certain circumstances, the dealers may be required to deliver additional Common Shares to Con Edison or Con Edison may be required either to make a cash payment or deliver Common Shares to the dealers. The final settlement of the transactions under the ASR Contracts is expected to occur no later than the third quarter of 2023. The terms of the accelerated share repurchases under the ASR Contracts are subject to adjustment if Con Edison enters into or announces certain types of transactions or takes certain corporate actions. The carrying amounts and fair values of long-term debt at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were:
