Notes: Bendemeer Wind Farm is not operational and has no DUID found in searched public sources. Latest NSW Planning Portal / SEARs-stage material identifies a proposed wind farm of up to 51 turbines and up to 316 MW, while the owner website describes 360 MW and older/project-benefits material and NEMStats list 380 MW. Financial profile uses the most specific wind-only capex found: A$750 million reported in November 2024 for the proposed 316 MW Bendemeer Wind Farm, giving A$2.373m/MW on the 316 MW planning scope. Fixed O&M, variable O&M, asset life and discount rate are not generator-specific; they are technology defaults from CSIRO/AEMO GenCost 2025-26 consultation draft for wind onshore. Fixed annual O&M is calculated as 316 MW x A$29,000/MW-year. Heat rate and thermal efficiency are not applicable to wind generation. The project is at Prepare EIS / prospective stage; no refurbishment history exists. Decommissioning is expected at end of operating life, supported by a Decommissioning Fund Deed and Decommissioning Guarantee per owner material.
