Notes
A project-specific greenfield cost was found in a Queensland Government/Engineers Australia reference citing the Baking Board solar farm at $48 million. No direct owner/developer press release or annual report with a more specific project cost was located in the available search results, so this figure is used as the best available reported construction cost. Capacity used for per-MW calculation is 19.9 MW. Solar PV fixed-tilt O&M was not found as a project-specific value, so server fallback O&M was retained.
