Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement found in web search results for Boulka Park BESS or the named owner entity. Default server-side fallback assumptions were used for CAPEX and O&M. Battery asset life set to 25 years based on AEMO/Aurecon review commentary that BESS projects are trending toward operational lifetimes of around 25 years.
