Notes
No project-specific greenfield capex figure was found in searched owner/government sources for Callide Solar Power Station BESS. The site page confirms the project remains in development phase and indicates construction is anticipated in FY2025/26, with up to 200MW / 800MWh storage. In the absence of a reported plant-specific investment value, operating assumptions were set using AEMO/Aurecon 2024 battery storage benchmarks for a co-located 200MW BESS case. The benchmark provides indicative EPC cost and fixed O&M; I used the 200MW co-located case and scaled fixed O&M to the site's 210MW battery capacity. Variable O&M is not typically specified for BESS in the benchmark, so it remains null. 90% round-trip efficiency and 25-year life are from the AEMO/Aurecon battery assumptions.
