On February 10, 2021, Enbridge Inc. entered into a three year, revolving, extendible, sustainability-linked credit facility for $1.0 billion with a syndicate of lenders and concurrently terminated our one year, revolving, syndicated credit facility for $3.0 billion.

On February 25, 2021, two term loans with an aggregate total of US$500 million were repaid with proceeds from a floating rate notes issuance.
On July 22 and 23, 2021, we renewed approximately $8.0 billion of our five-year credit facilities, extending the maturity date out to July 2026. We also extended approximately $10.0 billion of our 364-day extendible credit facilities to July 2022, which includes a one-year term out provision to July 2023.

In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $1.3 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $868 million was unutilized as at September 30, 2021. As at December 31, 2020, we had $849 million of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $533 million was unutilized.

Our credit facilities carry a weighted average standby fee of 0.1% 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 scheduled to mature from 2022 to 2026.

As at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings and non-revolving credit facilities that mature within one year, of $8.3 billion and $9.9 billion, respectively, were supported by the availability of long-term committed credit facilities and, therefore, have been classified as long-term debt.
