Notes
No plant-specific greenfield construction cost was located in the searched owner/developer, government, or market sources. Photon Energy disclosed acquisition of development rights and land for a 9.8 MWp/10 MWh Boggabri solar-plus-storage project in Nov 2022, but the price was undisclosed. The project appears to have been sold later as a development-stage asset, which further limits use of any inferred capex as project construction cost. Solar PV and BESS operating/capital benchmarks from AEMO/CSIRO were found, but per instructions were not used as reported plant-specific capex. Tech assumption fields left blank rather than backfilled from benchmarks because the user asked for a solar-fixed normalised type and the site is storage-plus-solar, but there is no verified plant-specific O&M or capex from the sources found.
