Overview

Update - Return on debt for 2019-20

In line with our final decision on TransGrid's electricity transmission network, we have updated TransGrid's return on debt for 2019-20 under NER cl. 6A.6.2(l). As a result of this update, the return on debt for 2019-20 is 5.77 per cent. This results in an X-factor for 2019-20 of –0.97 per cent. Holding other things constant, a positive X-factor implies a real revenue decrease and a negative X-factor implies a real revenue increase. The revised post-tax revenue model (PTRM) shows the updated X-factor.

Update - Return on debt for 2020-21

In line with our final decision on TransGrid's electricity transmission network, we have updated TransGrid's return on debt for 2020-21. As a result of this update, the return on debt for 2020-21 is 5.41 per cent. This results in an X-factor for 2020-21 of -0.17 per cent. Holding other things constant, a positive X-factor implies a real revenue decrease and a negative X-factor implies a real revenue increase. The revised PTRM shows the updated X-factor.

As a result of this update, the return on debt for 2021-22 is 4.96 per cent. This results in an X-factor for 2021-22 of -1.32 per cent. Holding other things constant, a positive X-factor implies a real revenue decrease and a negative X-factor implies a real revenue increase. The revised PTRM shows the updated X-factor.

As a result of this update, the return on debt for 2022-23 is 4.66 per cent. This results in an X-factor for 2022-23 of -8.30 per cent. Holding other things constant, a positive X-factor implies a real revenue decrease and a negative X-factor implies a real revenue increase. The revised PTRM shows the updated X-factor.

Update - Contingent project - Humelink

On 17 August 2022, the AER published its final decision on Transgrid’s contingent project application for the costs of early works associated with the staged delivery of HumeLink. The costs associated with the HumeLink contingent project span across two regulatory control periods, 2018–23 and 2023–28.
