$438.61M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$415.80M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Plant-specific build cost not found; left null for total to avoid mixing configuration-specific assumptions.

$19.0k (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$18.0k (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Used internal default because fixed O&M benchmark extraction for battery storage (for the relevant duration) was not fully resolved into the required per-MW-year figure for this asset.
Variable OPEX / MWh
$0.21

Shown in table
$0.21 (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$0.20 (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Used internal default variable O&M because battery variable O&M per MWh not extracted from AEMO ETC/O&M review in current search results.

Notes
Project is development-stage (no clear commissioning date found in sources searched). AEMO/CSIRO ETC review provides battery CAPEX/OPEX benchmarks for co-located BESS; however mapping to this exact plant’s solar+storage configuration and splitting per-MW storage basis requires additional confirmation. Used provided internal defaults where AEMO benchmark values could not be reliably extracted for this technology+duration basis for the requested fields.
