The Clean Energy Finance Corporation has warned there is confusion about its role as it still awaits possible axing.
Government legislation to abolish the corporation remains on the books in the Senate, with no change of policy under new Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
Chairwoman Jillian Broadbent told a Senate committee on Friday there have been no discussions with the government about the stalled legislation, and some in the sector still thought the corporation was "going".
Ms Broadbent said the corporation has just kept its head down and got on with its job.
"I think that's how we've kept our spirits up by not taking too much notice of the abolition bill," she said.
"It might have been a bit unwise but it's served us well ... to step away from the politics."
Cabinet secretary Arthur Sinodinos said it was still the coalition's policy to abolish the corporation.
"It's government policy in the sense that no one's come out and said that it's not government policy," he told the committee.
But Senator Sinodinos noted the corporation had done a good job at getting on with things given the uncertainty about its future.
It was to their credit, he said.
