Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement could be verified from owner/developer/government sources in web search. The site appears to be a publicly announced Hanwha Energy Australia battery project at 260 MW, with Boiling Down BESS Pty Ltd described as an entity supporting modifications to the Gregadoo Solar Farm project site to incorporate a 200 MW battery in Hanwha's FY24 modern slavery statement; however, this does not provide a project cost. O&M and other operating assumptions use the provided internal fallback defaults. Fixed OPEX annual is calculated as 25,000 AUD/MW-yr × 260 MW = 6,500,000 AUD/yr.
