Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND SHORT-TERM BANK LINES OF CREDIT | 6. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND SHORT-TERM BANK LINES OF CREDIT Evergy's $2.5 billion master credit facility expires in 2023. Evergy, Westar Energy, KCP&L and GMO have borrowing capacity under the master credit facility with specific sublimits for each borrower. These sublimits can be unilaterally adjusted by Evergy for each borrower provided the sublimits remain within minimum and maximum sublimits as specified in the facility. A default by any borrower under the facility or one of their significant subsidiaries on other indebtedness totaling more than $100.0 million constitutes a default under the facility. Under the terms of this facility, each of Evergy, Westar Energy, KCP&L and GMO is required to maintain a total indebtedness to total capitalization ratio, as defined in the facility, of not greater than 0.65 to 1.00 at all times. As of March 31, 2019, Evergy, Westar Energy, KCP&L and GMO were in compliance with this covenant. The following table summarizes the committed credit facilities (excluding receivable sale facilities discussed in Note 3 and Evergy's term loan credit agreement discussed below) available to the Evergy Companies as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

In March 2019, Evergy entered into a $1.0 billion, 6-month term loan credit agreement with a group of banks to provide short-term financing for its common stock repurchase program. The agreement allows for two term loans during the 6-month term of the agreement, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the credit limit of the agreement. At closing, Evergy borrowed $500.0 million under the agreement, allowing for one additional term loan borrowing in a principal amount up to $500.0 million. At March 31, 2019, Evergy had $500.0 million of outstanding cash borrowings under the agreement at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.03%. Evergy anticipates repaying borrowings under the term loan credit agreement with proceeds from an expected long-term debt issuance in the second half of 2019.
