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.

Capex total (greenfield)
$948.79M

Shown in table
$948.79M (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
ERA provides a detailed Australian benchmark capex estimate for a hypothetical 200 MW / 800 MWh lithium-ion BESS. The Baking Board estimate doubles this benchmark to reflect the listed 400 MW capacity and assumes a 4-hour duration.

Capex / MWh storage
$592,994

Shown in table
$593.0k (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
The per-MWh capex estimate assumes the benchmark 4-hour storage duration. Baking Board’s actual MWh was not found.

Fixed OPEX (annual)
$16.24M

Shown in table
$16.24M (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
Fixed O&M estimate is linearly scaled from a current Australian benchmark BESS fixed O&M estimate.

Fixed OPEX / MW-yr
$40,607

Shown in table
$40.6k (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
Provides fixed O&M both as total annual cost and per-MW-year benchmark value.

Variable OPEX / MWh
$0.00

Shown in table
$0.00 (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
The cited techno-economic table treats Li-ion BESS O&M as fixed and does not identify a separate variable O&M line item for the battery. A zero VOM default is used, excluding charging energy costs.

Fuel cost / GJ
$0.00

Shown in table
$0.00 (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
Supports a zero fuel-price assumption for Li-ion battery storage, while recognising that market charging energy is still an operating cost.

Heat rate GJ/MWh

How this was derived
Battery storage does not have a thermal heat rate; round-trip efficiency is the relevant operating efficiency metric.

Notes
Specific public financial data for Baking Board Battery Storage - KCI was not found. Identity/status/capacity are verified from Nemstats as publicly announced, 400 MW, with no DUID or commercial use date. Capex and fixed O&M are estimated by scaling the ERA/GHD 2025 BRCP benchmark 200 MW / 800 MWh LFP BESS by 2.0x to a notional 400 MW / 1,600 MWh 4-hour battery. Actual storage MWh for Baking Board Battery Storage - KCI was not found, so capex_per_mwh assumes 1,600 MWh. The ERA benchmark is for a WA SWIS transmission-connected BESS, not a Queensland NEM project; it is used as the best current Australian source-backed benchmark. Variable O&M is treated as zero/default because battery marginal operating cost excluding charging energy is commonly not separately identified; fixed O&M includes BESS, substation, balance-of-plant O&M, connection O&M, network charges, overheads, security and rates. Efficiency is interpreted as battery round-trip efficiency, not thermal efficiency. Emissions intensity is direct Scope 1 operational emissions only and excludes grid/solar charging emissions and embodied emissions. No refurbishment, final investment decision, construction start, online date, closure date, or major closure/refurbishment announcement was found.
