Summary
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) is a rate-regulated electric utility involved in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy in Florida. FPL is the largest electric utility in the state of Florida and one of the largest electric utilities in the U.S. As of December 31, 2023, FPL had 32,276 megawatts of net generating capacity, approximately 90,000 circuit miles of transmission and distribution lines and 883 substations.
FPL priced $2.0 billion of First Mortgage Bonds in three tranches:
- A $350 add-on of FPL’s 5.300% First Mortgage Bonds due 2034 at a spread of T+73 bps and a price of 100.109%
- $950 million of First Mortgage Bonds due 2055 at a spread of T+93 bps for a coupon of 5.700%
- $700 million of First Mortgage Bonds due 2065 at a spread of T+103 bps for a coupon of 5.800%
The deal was extremely well received by the market, with a total orderbook size of $11.9 billon, resulting in a 6.0x overall oversubscription. The 2064 tranche alone attracted over $5.5 billion in interest, representing an 8.0x oversubscription. Each tranche also priced with minimal or no new issue concessions.
FPL plans to use net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including repaying a portion of its outstanding commercial paper obligations and prefunding the refinancing of a portion of its bonds maturing in 2025.
