Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex figure was found in the searched owner/developer, ARENA, or project-financing sources. The project is reported as a 200 MW / 400 MWh battery within ARENA’s large-scale battery round, while Revera Energy’s current project page describes the broader Bungama BESS project as 250 MW / 500 MWh with operations expected by 2026. O&M uses AEMO/Aurecon 2024 BESS assumptions for a 200 MW, 4-hour BESS with dedicated grid connection; fixed O&M is taken from the 4-hour case and multiplied by 200 MW. Emissions are zero for battery storage on direct operational basis.
