Revenue (× MLF)

Estimated $ per interval using regional RRP and MLF effective on each day.

Methodology & assumptions

  • Dispatch & availability — AEMO Next Day Dispatch UNIT_SOLUTION (5‑minute intervals). Intervention intervals excluded.
  • Regional price — dispatch_price RRP matched by settlement time and NEM region (from generator registry).
  • Revenue (× MLF) — cleared MW × (5/60 h) × RRP × MLF. Chart uses MLF effective on each interval’s date; summary total uses MLF as at the end of the selected period (same as the revenue list).
  • Curtailment — estimated economic curtailment when availability exceeds dispatch target: max(0, availability − cleared) × (5/60) MWh.
  • Not settlement — estimates only. AEMO settlement applies DLF, rebids, constraints, and other factors not modelled here.

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.

How this was derived
Used the AEMO/ETC review assumption for conventional hydropower fixed O&M (variable O&M set to 0). Applied to Blowering capacity (80 MW) for fixed_opex_annual_aud.

Notes
Hydro fuel/heat-rate not populated due to lack of accessible AEMO Hydro Dam-specific benchmark values in the retrieved sources; fixed O&M populated using AEMO/ETC review conventional hydropower assumption (fixed only; variable O&M not meaningful for hydro). Refurbishment capex and greenfield construction year not found in provided sources; commissioning date not populated.
