Fitch upgrades Democrats turn out to caucus OPD5 credit rating

By VERNON ROBISON Moapa Valley Progress

Fitch’s Ratings has upgraded its credit rating for Overton Pow- er District (OPD5) to an ‘A’ rating. On Monday, Feb. 10, the national bond credit rating company revised its outlook on the “Issuer Default Rating” of OPD5 from an A- rating to a Stable A. The report took into account approximately $39.9 million of secured debt which is privately held by the National Rural Utili- ties Cooperative Finance Corpo- ration (CFC). “The upgrade to ‘A’ from ‘A-’ reflects the continued improve- ment in OPD5’s financial profile, which is supported by very low operating cost burden, improved margins and liquidity, and financial leverage that declined to 4.2x in fiscal 2018,” stated the summary report released by Fitch earlier this month.
