OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings has affirmed all outstanding classes of Utility Debt Securitization Authority Restructuring Bonds Series 2013T and 2013TE. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The transaction is performing within expectations, with levels of outstanding principal in-line with their targeted amortization schedules and no shortfalls in the capital subaccount. Additionally, the true-up mechanism continues to provide adequate credit support for all outstanding classes.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

As part of Fitch's initial rating sensitivity, Fitch conducted a break the bond case which provides an alternative means by which to measure the potential effects of rapid, significant declines in power consumption while capping the residential securitization charges at 20% of the total customer bill. This analysis determines the maximum level of forecasted energy decline that would cause a default in required payments on the securitization or cause the tariff charge to exceed 20% of the total residual customer bill. Despite this severe decline in consumption, due to the true-up mechanisms, the tariff charges are able to pay all debt service by the legal final maturity date.
