Notes
Project-specific greenfield capex was found in the Australian Industry Participation plan summary for Broadsound Solar Farm Pty Ltd: capital expenditure $518 million for Broadsound Solar Farm. The AEMO/Aurecon 2024 review supports single-axis tracking as the applicable utility-scale PV configuration and notes higher maintenance than fixed-tilt. Fixed O&M and asset life were taken from the AEMO/Aurecon 2024 technology review as fallback assumptions; fixed O&M is set at the internal default per MW-year because a project-specific O&M figure was not found. Capacity used for per-MW capex calculation is 376 MWdc from the project summary; this is slightly different from the user-supplied 368 MW, so capex_per_mw_aud should be treated as approximate.
