On May 31, PEFA, Inc. issued $614 million in “Gas Project Revenue Bonds – Series 2019.”  The proceeds of the bonds will be used to prepay the costs of acquiring a fixed quantity of natural gas (purchased at a discount to Index) to be delivered over 30 years from the gas supplier. There was a total of 84 participating municipal gas utilities from seven states (41 from Iowa), which are expected to save approximately $2.2 million annually.

The gas supply will come from the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. through its natural gas supplier, J. Aron & Company LLC.  The Gas Manager for the project is Clayton Energy Corporation while Ahlers & Cooney, P.C. served as the Bond Counsel for PEFA, Inc.

PEFA, Inc., the Issuer, is a separate legal entity and a nonprofit public benefit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Iowa, was organized by the Public Energy Facilities Authority, an Iowa joint powers authority formed pursuant to Chapter 28E of the Iowa Code, to finance the Gas Project.
