In March 2023, Enbridge Gas Inc. (Enbridge Gas) increased its 364-day extendible credit facility from $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion and in July 2023, the facility's maturity date was extended to July 2025, which includes a one-year term out provision from July 2024.

In July 2023, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. extended the maturity date of its 364-day extendible credit facility to July 2025, which includes a one-year term out provision from July 2024.

In July 2023, we renewed approximately $6.8 billion of our 364-day extendible credit facilities, extending the maturity dates to July 2025, which includes a one-year term out provision from July 2024. We also renewed approximately $7.6 billion of our five-year credit facilities, extending the maturity dates to July 2028. Further, we extended our three-year credit facilities, extending the maturity dates to July 2026.

In September 2023, we obtained commitments for a US$9.4 billion senior unsecured bridge term loan credit facility to support the Acquisitions. The commitment for this facility was subsequently reduced to US$3.4 billion as at September 30, 2023 as a result of the $4.6 billion equity offering and the September 2023 subordinated long-term debt issuances.

In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $1.3 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $712 million was unutilized as at September 30, 2023. As at December 31, 2022, we had $1.3 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $689 million was unutilized.
Our credit facilities, excluding the bridge term loan facility, 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 2024 to 2028.

As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings and non-revolving credit facilities that mature within one year, of $2.1 billion and $10.5 billion, respectively, were supported by the availability of long-term committed credit facilities and, therefore, have been classified as long-term debt.
