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 per Common Share or $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 settlements of the transactions under the ASR Contracts occurred during the second quarter of 2023. At final settlement, the dealers delivered an additional 1,812,497 Common Shares in aggregate to Con Edison. The number of Common Shares received from the dealers was based on the volume-weighted average share price of Common Shares during the term of the applicable transaction, less a discount. Upon receipt of the additional Common Shares, Con Edison transferred $169 million from additional paid-in-capital to treasury stock, reflecting the fair value of the Common Shares delivered to Con Edison.
