Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex or operating cost disclosures were found in the searched sources. Internal server-side fallback defaults were used for capex_per_mw_aud, fixed and variable OPEX, and emissions intensity. Capacity is 100 MW, so fallback fixed OPEX annualised to AUD 2.5 million/year. Storage duration, commissioning date, and project cost remain unverified.
