Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

Shown in table
$6.33M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$5.80M (2023 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Project-specific reported development cost for Ardandra; used as the best available plant-specific cost evidence, but it is not a clear full EPC greenfield build cost.

Notes
Plant-specific project cost found in an Octopus Australia/OREO document for the Ardandra project: development cost expected to be $5.8m, with acquisition and construction commencement in 2025 and full operations in 2027. This is a project-specific reported figure, but it appears to describe development/acquisition spend rather than full greenfield EPC capex for the eventual built asset; capex fields therefore reflect the reported figure with caution. The site page also describes Ardandra as a 97MW hybrid solar and 75MW/150MWh battery project, while the user-provided registered capacity is 75.02 MW. No separate plant-specific greenfield total construction cost announcement was found.
