$6,413.11M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$6,259.20M (2025 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Used as fallback offshore wind capex benchmark because no plant-specific project cost was found.

Notes
No plant-specific greenfield investment figure was found for Blue Mackerel North. Capex uses AEMO/GHD 2025 fixed-foundation offshore wind benchmark ($5,216/kW net, incl. 2% Australian market premium) for a 1,000 MW project; this is an estimated fallback, not a reported project cost. Offshore wind operating cost assumptions were not populated because the search results retrieved only capex-oriented benchmark material and no verified project-specific O&M values.
