During the first quarter of 2018, Enbridge terminated a US$650 million credit facility, which was set to mature in 2019, and repaid drawn amounts. In addition, Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. terminated an unutilized US$950 million credit facility, which was set to mature in 2019.

During the first quarter of 2018, Westcoast Energy Inc. terminated an unutilized $400 million credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The facility was set to mature in 2021.

In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we have $790 million of uncommitted demand credit facilities, of which $511 million were unutilized as at March 31, 2018. As at December 31, 2017, we had $792 million of uncommitted credit facilities, of which $518 million were unutilized.

Our credit facilities carry a weighted average standby fee of 0.2% per annum on the unused portion and draws bear interest at market rates. Certain credit facilities serve as a back-stop to the commercial paper programs and we have the option to extend such facilities, which are currently set to mature from 2019 to 2022.

As at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings and non-revolving credit facilities that mature within one year of $9,832 million and $10,055 million, respectively, are supported by the availability of long-term committed credit facilities and therefore have been classified as long-term debt.
