Notes
Plant-specific greenfield construction cost was identified in the Burrendong Wind Farm Economic Impact Assessment as approximately A$800 million (nominal, 2023). Ark Energy materials confirm the project is a 70-turbine, 400-500 MW onshore wind farm in NSW; the capacity used here is the user-supplied 434 MW. No separate plant-specific refurbishment capex was found. For operating assumptions, onshore wind uses zero fuel, zero direct emissions, no heat rate, and a 25-year design life per AEMO/Aurecon GenCost technical parameters; the fixed OPEX provided in the prompt was used as fallback because no project-specific O&M data was found.
