Long-term Debt, Unclassified [Abstract] |
Long-Term Debt | 9. Long-Term Debt A summary of the Registrants' long-term debt is included in the statements of capitalization. At December 31, 2022, the Registrants were in compliance with all of their debt agreements. Maturities of OGE Energy's consolidated long-term debt during the next five years consist of $1.0 billion in 2023, $129.4 million in 2025 and $181.0 million in 2027. Maturities of OG&E's long-term debt during the next five years consist of $500.0 million in 2023, $79.4 million in 2025 and $181.0 million in 2027. All other long-term debt of the Registrants matures after 2027. The Registrants have previously incurred costs related to debt refinancing. Unamortized loss on reacquired debt is classified as a Non-Current Regulatory Asset in the balance sheets. Unamortized debt expense and unamortized premium and discount on long-term debt are classified as Long-Term Debt in the balance sheets and are being amortized over the life of the respective debt. In May 2022, OGE Energy entered into a $100.0 million floating rate unsecured three-year credit agreement, of which $50.0 million is considered a revolving loan and $50.0 million is considered a term loan, and borrowed the full $50.0 million term loan, in order to preserve general financial flexibility within the company. Advances under this agreement were used to refinance existing indebtedness and for working capital and general corporate purposes of OGE Energy. The credit agreement, under certain circumstances, may be increased to a maximum commitment limit of $135.0 million and includes a maximum leverage ratio of 0.65 to 1.0. The other covenants under this credit agreement are substantially the same as OGE Energy's existing $550.0 million revolving credit agreement. The credit agreement is scheduled to terminate on May 24, 2025. At December 31, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate for the amount drawn on the term loan under this credit agreement was 3.48 percent during the year. In January 2023, OG&E issued $450.0 million of 5.40% Senior No tes due January 15, 2033. The p roceeds from the issuance were added to OG&E's general funds to be used for general corporate purposes, including to help fund the repayment of its $500.0 million 0.553% Senior Notes, Series due May 26, 2023 and the funding of its capital investment program and working capital needs. OG&E Industrial Authority Bonds OG&E has tax-exempt pollution control bonds with optional redemption provisions that allow the holders to request repayment of the bonds on any business day. The following table presents information about these bonds, which can be tendered at the option of the holder during the next 12 months.
Series | Date Due | Amount |
|  |  |  |  | (In millions) |
0.11% |  | — |  | 3.98% | Garfield Industrial Authority, January 1, 2025 | $ | 47.0 |
0.11% |  | — |  | 3.95% | Muskogee Industrial Authority, January 1, 2025 |  | 32.4 |
0.11% |  | — |  | 3.98% | Muskogee Industrial Authority, June 1, 2027 |  | 56.0 |
Total (redeemable during next 12 months) | $ | 135.4 |
All of these bonds are subject to an optional tender at the request of the holders, at 100 percent of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The bond holders, on any business day, can request repayment of the bond by delivering an irrevocable notice to the tender agent stating the principal amount of the bond, payment instructions for the purchase price and the business day the bond is to be purchased. The repayment option may only be exercised by the holder of a bond for the principal amount. When a tender notice has been received by the trustee, a third-party remarketing agent for the bonds will attempt to remarket any bonds tendered for purchase. This process occurs once per week. Since the original issuance of these series of bonds in 1995 and 1997, the remarketing agent has successfully remarketed all tendered bonds. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket any such bonds, OG&E is obligated to repurchase such unremarketed bonds. As OG&E has both the intent and ability to refinance the bonds on a long-term basis and such ability is supported by an ability to consummate the refinancing, the bonds are classified as Long-Term Debt in the balance sheets. OG&E believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations.
