About the Transmission Acceleration Facility (TAF)
The TAF is a revolving capital facility with the purpose of accelerating the development of transmission infrastructure and other enabling projects required to meet the Roadmap objectives for affordable and reliable supply of energy. The TAF operates to bridge the gap between when costs are incurred by EnergyCo and when they are recovered from network operators. The TAF, governed by the TAF Investment Committee, is a $1.2-2.4 billion financing facility established to enable fast tracking and de-risking the delivery of critical transmission infrastructure by providing revenue certainty for projects and investors. The TAF Investment Committee is a committee of the EnergyCo Board.
