Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

Capex total (greenfield)
$685.65M

Shown in table
$685.65M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$650.00M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Used as the reported greenfield total project cost because it is the clearest project-specific construction/investment figure found for Bungama Solar.

Capex refurbishment
Capex / MW derived
$2,448,589

Shown in table
$2.45M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$2.32M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Calculated from reported project cost and the user-provided capacity; the source figure appears to cover both solar and BESS elements, so this is indicative only.

Shown in table
$5.91M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$5.60M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

Fixed OPEX / MW-yr
$21,097

Shown in table
$21.1k (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$20.0k (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
No plant-specific fixed O&M figure was found, so the provided internal fallback default was used.

Variable OPEX / MWh
$0.26

Shown in table
$0.26 (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$0.25 (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
No plant-specific variable O&M figure was found, so the provided internal fallback default was used.

Fuel cost / GJ

Notes
No plant-specific O&M or refurbishment figures were found. Capex figure comes from a Bungama Solar project planning/application document describing an estimated total project cost of AUD 650 million for the integrated project including approximately 280 MW AC solar PV and 140 MW BESS; this may cover the broader precinct rather than a pure solar-only DUID. The site was described in 2025 Amp financing materials as a 339 MWdc solar development project, indicating some capacity-definition mismatch with the 280.02 MW DUID.
