IRP expenditure

This section provides an overview of total IRP expenditure, including break downs by IRPD type.

Chart 2 and Chart 3 show that IRP expenditure is highly concentrated.

In the 2022–23 income year:

  • Entities that disclose more than $500 million in IRP expenditure
    • account for 60% of total IRP expenditure
    • represent 2% of those that disclose IRP expenditure.
  • Entities that disclose up to $10 million in IRP expenditure
    • account for 4% of total IRPD expenditure
    • represent 71% of those that disclose IRP expenditure.
