"Organic growth remains at the core of the asset businesses' growth strategy. the asset companies continue to invest in the expansion of their networks to maintain and where possible improve asset performance and reliability. During the year, a total of $437.7 million in net capital expenditure (Spark INFRASTRUCTURE'S 49% share $214.5 million) was invested by the asset companies. Of the total, 54.1% was growth related."

"Spark Infrastructure and the asset businesses continue to enjoy strong support from debt providers. No re-financing of existing facilities is required at either the Spark Infrastructure or the asset company level in 2009. Spark Infrastructure's gearing is 63.6% while debt is 89.2% hedged on a proportionate basis and all hedging is undertaken with counterparties with credit ratings of A and above."
