Infrastructure Australia has put an emphasis on resilience in its 2020 Priority List, but investors note that there are high levels of competition for a limited number of assets.

The Australian Energy Market Commission rejected calls from investors to move to average loss factors in a ruling that 'undermines the energy transition underway'.

The Energy Security Board cautioned that the ability of investors to efficiently manage risk to support investment decisions was at a ‘critical’ level, its highest rating of concern.

The debate over marginal loss factors may see some short-term resolution next week – but the wider conversation about reform to Australia’s National Electricity Market still has some way to run.
