Capex total (greenfield)
$87.48M

How this was derived
AEMO/Aurecon provides a generic 2024 single-axis tracking PV cost estimate for a 240 MWp DC / 200 MWac project. The Argyle estimate scales EPC cost and land/development assumptions to 71.76 MWp DC.

Capex refurbishment
Capex / MW
$1,462,800

How this was derived
Using the source DC:AC ratio of 1.2, Argyle's 59.8 MWac corresponds to 71.76 MWp DC. Estimated total capex of 87.47544m AUD divided by 59.8 MWac equals 1.4628m AUD/MWac.

Capex / MWh storage
Fixed OPEX (annual)
$861.1k

How this was derived
The generic AEMO/Aurecon fixed O&M value is 12,000 AUD/MWp-dc-year. Scaling to 71.76 MWp DC gives 861,120 AUD/year.

Reference

Fixed OPEX / MW-yr
$14,400

How this was derived
Because the assumed DC:AC ratio is 1.2, 12,000 AUD/MWp-dc-year equates to 14,400 AUD/MWac-year.

Variable OPEX / MWh
$0.00

How this was derived
The AEMO/Aurecon solar PV table does not provide a separate variable O&M cost; it is included in fixed O&M.

Fuel cost / GJ
$0.00

How this was derived
For the generic single-axis tracking solar PV project, the AEMO/Aurecon table lists fuel connection costs as not applicable. A zero fuel cost is assumed for the solar resource.

Heat rate GJ/MWh

How this was derived
Heat rate is a thermal fuel metric. It is not applicable to a solar PV generator with no fuel combustion.

Notes
No generator-specific construction cost, O&M contract, PPA/fuel contract, heat-rate, refurbishment or closure disclosure was found for Argyle Solar Farm. Public data found identifies Argyle Solar Farm Pty Ltd as an AEMO/NEM registered participant and NEMStats lists Argyle Solar Farm as a publicly announced 60 MW single-axis tracking solar PV project with no DUID or online date. Financial assumptions are therefore scaled defaults from AEMO/Aurecon's 2024 utility-scale single-axis tracking solar PV hypothetical project. Calculation: assumed AC capacity 59.8 MW and AEMO/Aurecon DC:AC ratio 1.2 gives 71.76 MWp DC. Capex = EPC 1.15 AUD/Wdc plus land/development equal to 10% of equipment cost, where equipment is 60% of EPC: 71.76 MWp * 1.15m AUD/MWp + 0.10 * 0.60 * EPC = 87.47544m AUD. Fixed O&M = 12,000 AUD/MWp-dc-year * 71.76 MWp = 861,120 AUD/year. Variable O&M is treated as zero separate cost because the source states it is included in fixed O&M. Operational Scope 1 emissions are assumed zero for solar PV; lifecycle/embodied emissions are not included.
