Component / Low importance

SRF funding readiness

State Revolving Fund applicant status, project count, and most recent year of award.

What it captures

SRF funding readiness measures the maturity of a utility's relationship with the state SRF programs. High readiness corresponds to elevated Infrastructure readiness because the utility has demonstrated capacity to navigate federal-funded capital programs (a transferable skill for P3 negotiation), and SRF principal forgiveness can be layered into a Infrastructure capital structure.

The component reads applicant status, project count, and recency of award. Each is normalized against the state-program cohort baseline.

Importance class

Low importance

Specific weight not published.

Why this importance class

SRF readiness is meaningful but strongly correlated with other components. The weight reflects the marginal information content above the correlated components.

Edge cases

  • Utilities that have applied to SRF but been declined appear identical to never-applied utilities in the data; the analyst overlay corrects.
  • Wholesale-only authorities access SRF differently than retail utilities.
