Update - Return on debt for 2024–25
In line with our final decision on Transgrid's electricity transmission network, we have updated Transgrid's return on debt for 2024-25. As a result of this update, the return on debt for 2024-25 is 4.57 per cent. This results in an X-factor for 2024-25 of -0.92 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.
