Dubbo MP Troy Grant said funding for projects like the $150 million upgrade of Dubbo Hospital, $60 million upgrade to Mudgee Hospital and building of a school for special purposes is secure but warned other projects that would bring the electorate's infrastructure into the 21st century would be in danger.

Mr Grant said if he was re-elected and the Coalition returned to power, he and Premier Mike Baird would work tirelessly with any Upper House make-up to ensure the plan goes through because he believed capitalising on the funds from the electricity network leasing was the best chance regional NSW had to renew its aging infrastructure.

"Will I be able to spend $1 billion on water in NSW? No, not immediately because we won't have the money and have to try and find another way," Mr Grant said.

"Will we be able to put in $3 billion for roads? No, because they are extras. Leasing poles and wires is about the extras that will make efficiency of the economy and the infrastructure here world class. It stops us from waiting 30 years to get it."

Mr Baird was quoted last week saying there was no plan B if a returned Coalition couldn't get the proposal through the Upper House.

However Mr Grant the comment was an indication there were no plans to sell off any other assets to make it a reality.

He said the government had been responsible enough that even without the estimated $20 billion the Coalition claims it would raise from the sale, the state would still be in a strong position financially.

"The partial leasing of city assets is to supercharge the state. Regionally it's very important. That brings $6 billion, for government that is our Plan A and this is the aspirational thing we want the community to back us on. It's the best thing for the community," Mr Grant said.

"My commitment to Dubbo hospital, Mudgee hospital and school for special purposes, as examples, are not reliant on the power sale. They are being delivered because of good fiscal government."

Mr Grant said he had nothing to hide in regards to the proposed leasing, which he said is not a sell-off or privatisation.

He said he genuinely believed it would result in a win-win.

He said Essential Energy had been excluded from the sale for the good of regional NSW and he would not budge on that.

"The reason we have taken that view, and why I was opposed and still am opposed to full privatisation, is because in regional areas we have a unique geography, distances and everything else. Only we can assure safety, service and supply. That is my fundamental position," Mr Grant said.

"Why I support our policy decision is because we are partially leasing a component of an asset that is tiring and a dividend is shrinking. Labor says it gets $1.7 billion every year and spend that back in nurses, teachers, etc. That is rubbish.

"That was a one-off, and the correct figure was $1.4 billion. We've had other dividends as low as $400 million.

"We're not giving anything away. It's been called a sugar hit but it's not. What we are doing is liquidating a component of a tiring asset. It will get rejuvenated and bring about cheaper electricity prices while we use the money to invest in other infrastructure."
