Notes
No project-specific capex, O&M contract, PPA or financing disclosure was found in public sources. Capex and O&M are therefore estimated from AEMO/GHD 2025 technology assumptions for a representative 200 MW AC / 240 MW DC single-axis tracking utility-scale solar PV project, excluding BESS. Estimated capex comprises EPC cost AUD 259.4m plus land/development AUD 64.742m = AUD 324.142m nominal 2025 basis. Fixed O&M is GHD/AEMO's AUD 12,000/MW DC/year, applied to 240 MW DC = AUD 2.88m/year, equivalent to AUD 14,400/MW AC/year for the 200 MW AC export capacity. Variable O&M is treated as AUD 0/MWh because GHD states it is included in fixed O&M. The official project scope includes 200 MWac solar plus 400 MWh BESS; the provided generator record shows storage blank, and the financial values here are for the solar generator only. GHD notes major refurbishment is likely to involve inverter refurbishment/replacement at about half-life and possible expenditure on tracking drive mechanisms; modules are generally assumed not to be replaced except for faults/failures. AEMO's 2025 SAER lists Australia Plains Solar Farm as a publicly announced 200 MW solar farm with storage capacity NA, while Green Gold Energy materials describe the broader APSP as 200 MWac solar plus 400 MWh BESS with DA on 6 February 2025 and an 18-month construction period.
