(f) Interest rate re-pricing analysis

The following table covers Transpower’s total debt portfolio, including the effect of off balance sheet financial instruments when interest rates will be repriced and the current weighted average interest rate of each maturity. Transpower will transact further interest rate hedging in advance of the repricing date to fix interest rates on the Company debt portfolio within the policy parameters adopted by the Board.

Trade receivables/creditors, other receivables and other liabilities have not been included in the table below as they are not interest rate sensitive.

Forward rate agreements are also excluded from the re-pricing analysis as these contracts mature within one year. For the purpose of re-pricing, debt denominated in foreign currencies is stated after applying cross currency interest rate swaps.
