CPS Energy has closed on the sale of $521 million in taxable bonds this week to fund the previously announced acquisition and initial capital expenditures of the Rio Nogales Gas Plant in Seguin.
The bond issuance includes a $404 million term bond and $117 million in serial bonds at a combined interest rate of 4.38 percent over 23 years. The final maturity date of the bonds is 2042. The offering attracted strong investor interest, which resulted in high market demand and a favorable interest rate for the utility.
CPS Energy first announced plans to buy the Rio Nogales plant on March 12. The generation from the 800 megawatt plant will replace the electricity output from CPS Energy?s oldest coal plant, the J.T. Deely facility, which will be decommissioned in 2018. Until then, CPS Energy will use some of Rio Nogales? output and sell the remainder of the power to third-party companies.
J.P. Morgan? was the senior underwriter and Fulbright & Jaworski LLP? and Escamilla, Poneck & Cruz LLP were co-bond counsel. PFM? and Estrada Hinojosa? were co-financial advisors. Bracewell & Giuliani? LLP and Shelton & Valadez, P.C. were co-underwriters counsel.
CPS Energy is the nation?s largest municipally owned natural gas and electric utility.
