Notes
No plant-specific battery capex announcement was found for Carmody's Hill BESS. The available sources describe the Carmody's Hill project as a wind farm with an optional or future 123 MW / 118 MW BESS component, but they do not disclose a standalone BESS investment value. Because the user requested that capex only be reported when a project-specific investment figure exists, capex fields are left null pending a dedicated BESS cost announcement. The project-level figures found ($350 million in 2021 for the original wind-plus-battery proposal and ~$900 million in 2025 for the wind farm financing) appear to relate to the wider Carmody's Hill wind project, not a verified standalone BESS capex, so they were not used as BESS capex.
