Notes
No public Ardandra-specific construction contract value, total capex, O&M contract, revenue contract, online date, DUID, heat-rate, or closure notice was found. Current owner/project pages and Octopus fund reporting describe Ardandra as a 97 MW solar plus 75 MW/150 MWh battery development in Queensland, adjacent to Dulacca Wind Farm. Earlier 2023 acquisition reporting referred to a larger 175 MW solar and 400 MWh storage project from JUWI; later Octopus materials show 97 MW solar and 75 MW/150 MWh battery, so the profile uses the user-provided/NEM generator capacity of 96.99 MW AC. Capex is not reported and is estimated using AEMO/Aurecon 2024 large-scale solar PV single-axis tracking assumptions: 1.2 DC:AC ratio, $1.15/Wdc EPC plus land/development cost equal to 10% of equipment cost, where equipment is 60% of EPC, giving $1.219/Wdc. Estimated capex = 96.99 MWac × 1.2 × 1,000,000 W/MW × $1.219/Wdc = A$141.876972 million. Fixed O&M is estimated as 96.99 MWac × 1.2 DC:AC × A$12,000/MWp-year = A$1.396656 million/year. Variable O&M is set to A$0/MWh because Aurecon states it is included in the fixed component. Heat rate and thermal efficiency are not applicable to solar PV. Emissions intensity is interpreted as direct operational emissions, not lifecycle embodied emissions, and set to zero for solar PV generation. No closure date was identified; default technical/economic life assumption is 30 years, with GHD/AEMO retirement assumptions noting large-scale PV decommissioning and rehabilitation costs around A$110,000/MW at end of life.
