- Pursuant to PGE's application, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), on January 18, 2024, issued an order in Docket No. ES24-17-000 that authorizes the Company to issue up to $900 million of short-term debt through February 6, 2026. The authorization provides that if utility assets financed by unsecured debt are divested, then a proportionate share of the unsecured debt must also be divested.
In August 2023, PGE amended its existing revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2023, PGE had a $750 million revolving credit facility scheduled to expire in September 2028. The Company has the ability to expand the revolving credit facility to $850 million, if needed. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the revolving credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including as backup for commercial paper borrowings, and to permit the issuance of standby letters of credit. PGE may borrow for one, three, or six months at a fixed interest rate established at the time of the borrowing, or at a variable interest rate for any period up to the then remaining term of the applicable credit facility. The revolving credit facility contains a provision that requires annual fees based on the Company's unsecured credit ratings, and contains customary covenants and default provisions, including a requirement that limits consolidated indebtedness, as defined in the agreement, to 65.0% of total capitalization. As of December 31, 2023, PGE was in compliance with this covenant with a 56.2% debt to total capital ratio. In addition, the credit facility offers the potential for adjustments to interest rate margins and fees based on PGE's achievement of certain annual sustainability-linked metrics related to its non-emitting generation capacity and the percentage of management comprised of women and employees who identify as black, indigenous, and people of color. The Company believes these potential adjustments will have an immaterial impact on PGE's results of operations.
Under the revolving credit facility, as of December 31, 2023, PGE had no borrowings outstanding and there were no letters of credit issued. As a result, the aggregate unused available credit capacity under the revolving credit facility was $750 million however, as PGE has elected to limit its borrowings to cover any potential need to repay outstanding commercial paper, the elected available credit capacity is $604 million.
The Company has a commercial paper program under which it may issue commercial paper for terms of up to 270 days. The Company has elected to limit its borrowings under the revolving credit facility to cover any potential need to repay commercial paper that may be outstanding at the time. As of December 31, 2023, PGE had $146 million commercial paper outstanding.
PGE typically classifies any borrowings under the revolving credit facility and outstanding commercial paper as Notes Payable on the Comparative Balance Sheet.
In addition, PGE has four letter of credit facilities that provide a total capacity of $320 million under which the Company can request letters of credit for original terms not to exceed one year. The issuance of such letters of credit is subject to the approval of the issuing institution. Under these facilities, a total of $106 million of letters of credit were outstanding as of December 31, 2023. Letters of credit issued are not reflected on the Company's Comparative Balance Sheet.
On August 29, 2023, PGE entered into a Bond Purchase Agreement related to the sale of $500 million in First Mortgage Bonds (FMBs), the bonds consist of: a series, due in 2030, in the amount of $50 million that bear interest at an annual rate of 5.44%;
a series, due in 2033, in the amount of $150 million that bear interest at an annual rate of 5.48%; a series, due in 2038, in the amount of $100 million that bear interest at an annual rate of 5.68%;
a series due in 2053, in the amount of $100 million that bear interest at an annual rate of 5.78%; and a series due in 2059, in the amount of $100 million that bear interest at an annual rate of 5.83%.
As of December 31, 2023, all series, totaling $500 million, were issued and funded in full.
On November 30, 2022, PGE entered into a Bond Purchase Agreement related to the sale of $200 million in FMBs, the first half of which funded in 2022 and the remaining $100 million funded in full on January 13, 2023.
The Indenture securing PGE's outstanding FMBs constitutes a direct first mortgage lien on substantially all regulated utility property, other than expressly excepted property. Interest is payable semi-annually on FMBs.
On October 21, 2022, PGE obtained a 366-day term loan from lenders in the aggregate principal of $260 million under a 366-Day Bridge Credit Agreement. The term loan bore interest for the relevant interest period at the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus Term SOFR Adjustment Rate of 10 basis points and Applicable Margin of 87.5 basis points. The interest rate was subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the loan. On March 1, 2023, this term loan was repaid in full. The term loan was classified as Other Long Term Debt on PGE's Comparative Balance Sheet.
PGE enters into financial agreements, and purchase and sale agreements involving physical delivery of, both power and natural gas that include indemnification provisions relating to certain claims or liabilities that may arise relating to the transactions contemplated by these agreements. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated in the indemnification provisions and therefore, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. PGE periodically evaluates the likelihood of incurring costs under such indemnities based on the Company's historical experience and the evaluation of the specific indemnities. In connection with the agreement to transfer certain tax credits generated in 2023, PGE provided indemnification against the buyer's losses related to a failure to satisfy the Production Tax Credits qualification or transferability requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, but not due to the action or legal tax status of the buyer or a change in tax law. As of December 31, 2023, management believes the likelihood is remote that PGE would be required to perform under such indemnification provisions or otherwise incur any significant losses with respect to such indemnities. The Company has not recorded any liability on the Comparative Balance Sheet with respect to these indemnities.

- Legal Proceedings:
Governmental Investigations
In March, April and May 2021, the Division of Enforcement of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"), the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Division of Enforcement of the FERC, respectively, informed the Company they are conducting investigations arising out of the energy trading losses the Company previously announced in August 2020. The Company is cooperating with the CFTC, the SEC, and the FERC. Management cannot at this time predict the eventual scope or outcome of these matters.
Colstrip-Related Litigation
The Company has a 20% ownership interest in Colstrip, which is operated by one of the co-owners, Talen Montana, LLC (Talen). On May 10, 2022, Talen's parent company, Talen Energy Supply, LLC, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, although Colstrip continues to operate and generate electricity for PGE customers and others. Various business disagreements have arisen amongst the co-owners regarding interpretation of the Ownership and Operation (O&O) Agreement and other matters. An arbitration process has been initiated to address such business disagreements and has resulted in several legal proceedings. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters related to Colstrip, are summarized below.
ArbitrationIn March 2021, co-owner NorthWestern Corporation (NorthWestern) initiated arbitration against all other co-owners of Colstrip to determine whether co-owners representing 55% or more of the ownership shares can vote to close one or both units of Colstrip, or, alternatively, whether unanimous consent is required. The O&O Agreement among the parties states that any dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a single arbitrator with appropriate expertise. The parties had agreed to stay the arbitration through April 1, 2024, and are now in the process of reengaging in arbitration discussions. An arbitration date has not yet been scheduled. PGE cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the arbitration process.
Petition to compel arbitrationIn April 2021, co-owners Avista Corporation, Puget Sound Energy Inc., PacifiCorp, and PGE (the Petitioners) petitioned in Spokane County Superior Court, Washington, Case No. 21201000-32, against NorthWestern and Talen to compel the arbitration initiated by NorthWestern that is described above. In May 2021, Talen removed the case to Federal Court (Eastern District of Washington Case No. 2:21-cv-00163-RMP). Following a hearing in July 2021, Talen's motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana was granted. On August 10, 2023, the court dismissed the matter with prejudice pursuant to the parties' stipulation.
Challenge to constitutionality of Montana Senate Bills 265 and 266 (MSB 265 and MSB 266)On May 4, 2021, the Petitioners filed a claim against NorthWestern and Talen (the Defendants) in U.S. District Court - Montana, Billings Division, Case No. 1:21-cv-00047-SPW-KLD, based on the passage of MSB 265, which attempted to void contractual arbitration provisions within the O&O Agreement if they do not provide for three arbitrators or provide for venue outside of the county where the plant is located. The Petitioners filed a First Amended Complaint on May 19, 2021, adding the Attorney General of Montana (Montana AG) as defendant and challenging the constitutionality of MSB 266, which purportedly gives the Montana AG authority to penalize and restrain any co-owner of Colstrip who takes steps to shut-down the plant without unanimous consent, and authority to penalize any co-owner who fails or refuses to pay the costs to maintain the plant.
The Petitioners filed motions for their claims and on September 29, 2022, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations, which were adopted in full by the Court on October 19, 2022, granting the summary judgment motions by finding that MSB 266 was unconstitutional, and MSB 265 was unconstitutional and in the alternative preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Complaint to implement Montana Senate Bill 265 (MSB 265)On May 4, 2021, Talen filed a complaint against the Petitioners and NorthWestern, in the Thirteenth Judicial District Court in the State of Montana, as an attempt to implement Montana laws when determining the language of the O&O Agreement based on the recent enactment of MSB 265. The case was subsequently removed to the U.S. District Court - Montana, Billings Division, Case No. 1:21-cv-00058-SPW-TJC. On August 10, 2023, the court dismissed the matter with prejudice pursuant to the parties' stipulation.
Richard Burnett; Colstrip Properties Inc., et al v. Talen Montana, LLC; PGE, et alIn December 2020, the original claim was filed in the Montana Sixteenth Judicial District Court, Rosebud County, Cause No. CV-20-58. The plaintiffs allege they have suffered adverse effects from the defendants' coal dust. In August 2021, the claim was amended to add PGE as a defendant. Plaintiffs are seeking economic damages, costs and disbursements, punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and an injunction prohibiting defendants from allowing coal dust to blow onto plaintiffs' properties, as determined by the Court. This matter was stayed for a time as a result of the bankruptcy filing of Talen's parent company, but litigation has resumed and the parties are working through discovery issues. The Court has entered a procedural schedule that leads to a trial, which would begin November 5, 2024. The Company is unable to predict outcome of this matter.
