Maturing on 15 June 2046, the bonds’ interest will be paid semi-annually on 15 June and 15 December of each year, commencing from December 2016.
The company has also priced the public offering of its 2.55% series 120 bonds, which mature on 15 June 2026. This will raise approximately $500m.
The proceeds from the two offerings will be used to refinance the company’s outstanding mortgage bonds, which are due to mature in 2016.
Florida Power & Light Company has announced its intention to acquire the 330MW Indiana Town Cogeneration power plant from Calypso Energy Holdings for approximately $451m.
The acquisition is being proposed to reduce the plant’s capacity to just 5% and retire it before its designed life span. FPL plans to compensate for the lost generation capacity from its current natural-gas plants under construction.
The acquisition is expected to offset approximately 657,000t of carbon dioxide emissions annually and save the FPL customers approximately $129m.
