As of November 1, 2018, TEP had $205 million available under its revolving credit commitments and a Letter of Credit (LOC) facility.
CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
In 2017, TEP entered into a 20-year tolling PPA with Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) to purchase and receive all 550 megawatt (MW) of capacity, power, and ancillary services from Gila River Generating Station (Gila River) Unit 2, which includes a three-year option to purchase the unit (Tolling PPA). TEP’s obligations under the agreement were contingent upon SRP's acquisition of Gila River Units 1 and 2 from third-parties (Gila Acquisition). SRP completed the Gila Acquisition in May 2018. As a result, TEP had $164 million recorded in both Long Term LiabilitiesCapital Lease Obligations and Utility Plant Under Capital Leases on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2018. The amount reflects the fair value of the unit, which was determined by SRP's purchase price. TEP anticipates exercising its option to purchase Gila River Unit 2 in December 2019 for approximately $164 million. Over the expected 20-month lease term, TEP will pay a monthly demand charge consisting of: (i) a fixed capacity charge of approximately $1 million, and (ii) an operating fee to compensate SRP for the non-fuel costs of operating Gila River Unit 2. TEP recovers the monthly capacity charge and operating fee through the PPFAC.
TEP’s minimum lease payments consist of the fixed capacity charge and purchase option price. As of September 30, 2018, capital lease obligations related to the Tolling PPA mature on the following dates:
