The draft decision on the South Australian Power Networks has confirmed Morgans’ view that distribution revenue will fall. A lower capital expenditure budget also means a slowdown in regulated asset base growth.
The regulator has provided for a revenue allowance across 2020-21 to 2024-25 of $3.9bn, resulting in a -$90m decline in distribution revenue in 2020-21.
Morgans maintains a Reduce rating and lowers the target to $1.96 from $2.06.
