Notes
Project website states an estimated investment of around $700 million for up to 252 MW. Normalised to the requested 217 MW registered capacity, capex per MW is calculated from the reported project total; this may overstate or understate the eventual DUID share if the final build size differs. No plant-specific refurbishment cost found.
