Spark Infrastructure takes a long term view of its investments. The priority is to generate consistently robust cashflows and deliver reliable distribution growth over time.SPARK INFRASTRUCTURE
ABOUT US Regulatory know-howAn understanding of the regulation of energy infrastructure in Australia, with its various constraints and opportunities,
is the key to making good financial and operational decisions that will deliver results now and into the future. It is this expertise which stands Spark Infrastructure out from the crowd.
The regulatory regime remains incentive based with a range of opportunities for out-performance and various in-built protections.
Importantly, it provides inflation protection of revenues and
the Regulated Asset Base and pass-throughs for operating and capital costs.
Operational capabilitySpark Infrastructure has a proven track record of prudent, disciplined and transparent management
of its investments and brings this accumulated knowledge and
experience to the table when assessing new opportunities and improving the quality of its investment portfolio.
Our in-house team possesses
a deep understanding of regulated network assets and how to make them deliver the best possible results for consumers, employees and Securityholders.
Spark Infrastructure's consistent performance and returns from its investments are founded on business plans which are robust and sufficiently flexible to deliver
growing cashflows under a variety of different business circumstances and regulatory outcomes.
Financial discipline and prudent diversificationOur consistent approach
is to apply rigorous financial and operational oversight to the portfolio of assets with a view to achieving long-term growth and profitability in a measured way. The emphasis is always on prudent financial management, efficient operations, a safe and
engaged workforce and the effective management of all business risks.
SA Power Networks and Victoria Power Networks (SAPN and VPN respectively)
consistently outperform regulatory benchmarks while TransGrid possesses significant growth opportunities in both the regulated and non-prescribed parts of
its business. Each business in Spark Infrastructure's investment portfolio targets a solid investment grade credit rating.
Sustainable growthSpark Infrastructure values sustainable growth in distributions to Securityholders over time.
This commitment shapes the way we look at all matters of strategy, operations and capital management. We take the same disciplined approach to our assessment of any opportunities to further grow and diversify the portfolio of assets.
At the same time we are focused on promoting continuous improvement in the operational performance of the businesses in our investment portfolio - in cost management, service planning, customer
service, employee safety and capital management.
We also recognise that the business environment is changing and network businesses must respond energetically to new technologies and evolving customer expectations. Spark Infrastructure is ideally placed to grow the businesses
in its investment portfolio in new and exciting directions over the coming years.
