In its pricing determinations, IPART uses a real rate of return to determine the cost of capital allowance of its building blocks model. This cost of capital allowance forms a substantial part of the annual revenue requirement of utilities. IPART is currently reviewing how it calculates the debt margin. This discussion paper considers a new methodology that can be used to calculate the debt margin which is used in the WACC calculation to determine the cost of debt.
