Innovation and Non-Traditional Solutions Allowance (INTSA)
INTSA enables an electricity distribution business subject to DPP4 to apply for an additional allowance for projects involving innovative or non-traditional solutions.
This page provides information for stakeholders about INTSA processes, as well as links to current applications and past applications for both INTSA and its DPP3 predecessor - the Innovation Project Allowance.
INTSA Guidance
We have developed guidance ( 821 KB, PDF ) for INTSA to help stakeholders understand how to prepare an INTSA application and how we will assess applications. We have also prepared an optional application template ( 39 KB, DOCX ) that EDBs may find helpful when considering making INSTA applications.
In developing the final INTSA guidance, we consulted on a draft version. Feedback on this draft, and the draft itself, can be found in the documents section at the bottom of the DPP4 webpage.
