Notes
Stage 1 of Bowmans Creek Wind Farm was approved in February 2024 and described by Ark Energy as a $569 million project for 54 turbines and 347 MW. The per-MW capex is calculated from the reported total cost and the site capacity provided (346.64 MW). No project-specific O&M benchmark was found in the searched sources, so fallback default O&M was used for fixed and variable values.
