Capex total (greenfield)
$527.43M

Shown in table
$527.43M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$500.00M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Official AIP project summary for Callide Wind Farm states capital expenditure is at least $500 million.

Capex refurbishment
Capex / MW derived
$1,251,011

Shown in table
$1.25M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$1.19M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Per-MW capex is a conservative minimum derived from the reported project capex floor and the registered capacity.

Fixed OPEX (annual)
$24.46M

Shown in table
$24.46M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$23.19M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Annual fixed O&M was calculated from the fallback per-MW rate and the site capacity.

Fixed OPEX / MW-yr
$58,017

Shown in table
$58.0k (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$55.0k (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
No plant-specific onshore wind fixed O&M figure was found in the official/owner sources searched, so the provided fallback was used.

Variable OPEX / MWh
$0.53

Shown in table
$0.53 (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$0.50 (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 in the official/owner sources searched, so the provided fallback was used.

Notes
Plant-specific capital expenditure was not disclosed as an exact amount in the available source; the official AIP summary states 'Capital expenditure: $500 million or more'. I used $500 million as the minimum reported project capex for normalised costing, which is conservative and likely understates true total project investment. The project is described as a new facility with up to 70 wind turbines, a 275/33kV site substation, BESS, 275kV switchyard, export lines and ancillary infrastructure. Construction completion in the AIP summary is listed as 31 Dec 2026, but the project website now says construction is planned to commence in 2027, so the timing is somewhat inconsistent across sources.
