Canterbury Irrigation
Scope of Potential mid Canterbury Solution
•
•
Staged Investment - up to 120,000Ha
$250m-300m of investment (excluding on farm irrigation
infrastructure)
Specific Stages
Stage 1: BCI pumps – completed
Supplies the first 8,000-10,000 Ha of irrigation but without
security of supply from storage
Stage 2: More Pumps + Lake Coleridge Storage completed
Storage and supply contracts signed with BCI and CPW
provide irrigation potential of 40,000Ha.
• BCI steadily adding scheme members to stage 1
(13,000 ha)
• BC1 Stage 2 (4000 ha) capital raising under way
• CPW stage 1 (20,000 ha) well advanced
Stage 3: Enhanced release of storage capacity from
Coleridge
•
•
•
© Trustpower Limited
Increase irrigated area up to 120,000Ha.
Increased storage release to Rakaia River via Coleridge
HEPS for abstraction by CPW, BCI and other parties
CPW planning under way for stage 2 and 3
development (45,000 ha)
Generation development pipeline
• Trustpower retains significant options
• NZ hydro and wind
- Near term oversupply headwind to
investment
- Maintain options as long as possible
• Australian wind
- 20% by 2020 renewable energy
target largely met by wind
- PPA’s mitigate risk
- Progressing DAs in SA, VIC and NSW
with view that Government review
of LRET scheme will continue to
support further wind development

Non-GAAP Measures
•
Underlying Earnings is a non GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure.
Trustpower believes that this measure is an important additional financial measure to disclose as it
excludes movements in the fair value of financial instruments which can be volatile year to year
depending on movement in long term interest rate and or electricity future prices. Also excluded in this
measure are items considered to be one off and not related to core business such as changes to the
company tax rate or gain/impairment of generation assets.
•
EBITDAF is a non GAAP financial measure but is commonly used within the electricity industry as a
measure of performance as it shows the level of earnings before impact of gearing levels and non-cash
charges such as depreciation and amortisation. Market analysts use the measure as an input into
company valuation and valuation metrics used to assess relative value and performance of companies
across the sector.
•
Reconciliation between statutory measure of profit and the two measures above are given below:
Proft After Tax Attributable to Shareholders of the Company
Fair value losses / (gains) on financial instruments
Discount on acquisition
Changes in income tax expense in relation to adjustments
Change in corporate tax rules
