A large portion of the EDF group’s fixed-rate loans is swapped to variable rates.

18.3.4 Early repayment clauses

Project financing loans from non-Group parties to SPV-type project companies owned by EDF Renewables may include early repayment clauses that principally apply when the project company concerned fails to respect certain covenants, particularly a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR). In general, early repayment clauses are activated when this ratio falls below 1.

In other Group entities, certain clauses contained in contracts for financing or other commitments may make reference to Group credit ratings but are not classified as covenants.

Seven loans with a combined total of €2,042 million contain a rendez-vous clause requiring contact between the borrower and lender if the borrower’s credit rating falls below a specified level, possibly leading to renegotiation of the terms of the loan.

No early repayment took place in 2022 as a result of any Group entity’s failure to comply with contractual clauses concerning loans.

18.4 Unused credit lines

In 2022, EDF concluded four new credit lines with a combined total of €2,600 million, including €2,000 million with BNP. Four other credit lines totalling €900 million matured, and the available balance of the EIB credit line (€400 million) was fully drawn.

At 31 December 2022, the Group has unused credit lines with various banks totalling €14,051 million (€13,039 million at  31 December 2021), including €10,053 million of credit lines indexed on ESG criteria.
