Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex figure was found in owner/developer materials or search results for Bremer Battery 1. The project website confirms an 850 MW / 3,400 MWh battery and states Libra Energy Pty Ltd is the developer, but provides no total project investment amount. Battery O&M and technical parameters were therefore set using AEMO 2024 benchmark-style values as fallback/defaults; these are not plant-specific reported costs. The project website also states a 25-year warranty and an expected lifespan of about 35 years.
