Notes
No public generator-specific construction cost, EPC contract value, O&M contract, variable O&M contract, financing close, DUID, or commissioning date was found. The user's supplied 65 MW / 260 MWh capacity conflicts with current public project pages: ANZA Power and Bison list 50 MW / 200 MWh, while a June 2023 Bison interview referred to 60 MW / 240 MWh. Financial values are therefore estimates scaled to the user's supplied 65 MW / 260 MWh from AEMO/Aurecon 2025 large-scale lithium-ion BESS benchmarks for a 4-hour, dedicated-grid-connection project. Estimated capex uses Aurecon 4-hour BESS power component AUD 525/kW plus energy component AUD 274/kWh: 65,000 kW * 525 + 260,000 kWh * 274 = AUD 105.365 million EPC cost. This excludes any site-specific network augmentation, owner’s costs not captured by the benchmark, financing costs, contingency beyond the benchmark basis, and project-specific connection risks. Fixed opex uses Aurecon 4-hour fixed O&M AUD 12,800/MW-year plus extended warranty AUD 8,400/MW-year = AUD 21,200/MW-year. Variable O&M is set to 0 because Aurecon reports BESS long-term service agreements are not typically fixed/variable split. Efficiency is beginning-of-life round-trip efficiency at point of connection. Operational Scope 1 emissions are treated as zero because the BESS has no onsite fuel combustion; lifecycle and charging-energy emissions are not included. Major refurbishment/closure: public sources show the project as under development; no closure notice was found. For generic BESS life, Aurecon states 20-year design/technical life, potential extension to about 25 years after condition assessment, and further extension with battery upgrades.
