Project Financings
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, indirect subsidiaries of Edison Energy Group owning solar projects had approximately $22 million and $25 million outstanding under a 7-year term financing due in 2022 at a weighted average interest rate of 3.50% and 3.11%. In addition, tax equity investors in these solar projects receive 99% of taxable profits and losses and tax credits of the projects as determined for federal income tax purposes for a six-year period following the completion of the portfolio of projects and receive a priority return of 2% of their investment per year. After the six-year period, the tax equity investor receives 5% of the taxable profits and losses and cash flow. A subsidiary of Edison Energy Group has a call option for a nine-month period following five years after completion of the portfolio of projects to purchase the tax equity investors interest and the tax equity investor has the right to put its ownership interest to such subsidiary in the event that the call option is not exercised.
An indirect subsidiary of Edison Energy Group also entered into a non-recourse debt financing to support equity contributions in certain solar projects through June 30, 2017. The maturity date of the borrowings under this agreement is December 31, 2036. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there was $10 million and $6 million outstanding under this agreement at a weighted average interest rate of 9%.
Liens and Security Interests
Almost all of SCE's properties are subject to a trust indenture lien. SCE has pledged first and refunding mortgage bonds as collateral for borrowed funds obtained from pollution-control bonds issued by government agencies. SCE has a debt covenant that requires a debt to total capitalization ratio be met. At December 31, 2016, SCE was in compliance with this debt covenant.
All of the properties subject to the Edison Energy Group project financings discussed above are subject to a lien.
