Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
DEBT | DEBT Non-Recourse Debt During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s subsidiaries had the following significant debt transactions:
Subsidiary |  | Transaction Period |  | Issuances |  | Repayments |  |
United Kingdom |  | Q1 |  | $ | 710 |  |  | $ | (350) |  |  |
Netherlands/Panama |  | Q1 |  | 500 |  |  | — |  |  |
AES Brasil |  | Q1 |  | 219 |  |  | (192) |  |  |
AES Andes |  | Q1 |  | 175 |  |  | (95) |  |  |
Netherlands and Panama — In March 2022, AES Hispanola Holdings BV, a Netherlands based company, and Colon, as co-borrowers, executed a $500 million bridge loan due in 2023. The Company allocated $450 million and $50 million of the proceeds from the agreement to AES Hispanola Holdings BV and Colon, respectively. United Kingdom — On January 6, 2022, Mercury Chile HoldCo LLC (“Mercury Chile”), a UK based company, executed a $350 million bridge loan, and used the proceeds, as well as an additional capital contribution of $196 million from the Parent Company, to purchase the minority interest in AES Andes through intermediate holding companies (see Note 11—Equity for further information). On January 24, 2022, Mercury Chile issued $360 million aggregate principal of 6.5% senior secured notes due in 2027 and used the proceeds from the issuance to fully prepay the $350 million bridge loan. Non-Recourse Debt in Default — The following table summarizes the Company’s subsidiary non-recourse debt in default (in millions) as of March 31, 2022. Due to the defaults, these amounts are included in the current portion of non-recourse debt:
Subsidiary |  | Primary Nature of Default |  | Debt in Default |  | Net Assets
AES Puerto Rico |  | Covenant |  | $ | 195 |  |  | $ | (183) |
AES Ilumina (Puerto Rico) |  | Covenant |  | 28 |  |  | 26 |
AES Jordan Solar |  | Covenant |  | 7 |  |  | 7 |
Total |  |  |  | $ | 230 |  |  |
The above defaults are not payment defaults. In Puerto Rico, the subsidiary non-recourse debt defaults were triggered by failure to comply with covenants or other requirements contained in the non-recourse debt documents due to the bankruptcy of the offtaker. The AES Corporation’s recourse debt agreements include cross-default clauses that will trigger if a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries for which the non-recourse debt is in default provides 20% or more of the Parent Company’s total cash distributions from businesses for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no defaults which resulted in, or were at risk of triggering, a cross-default under the recourse debt of the Parent Company. In the event the Parent Company is not in compliance with the financial covenants of its revolving credit facility, restricted payments will be limited to regular quarterly shareholder dividends at the then-prevailing rate. Payment defaults and bankruptcy defaults would preclude the making of any restricted payments.
