Notes
No plant-specific public CAPEX announcement for the Carwarp BESS could be verified from owner/developer/government sources. Recurrent Energy/Canadian Solar publicly describe Carwarp Energy Park as a 150 MWh battery energy storage and solar facility under construction for COD in 2026, but do not publish a total project cost. Given the unresolved plant-specific battery CAPEX and the fact the site appears to be part of a larger hybrid precinct, CAPEX is left blank rather than inferred from AEMO benchmarks. For battery storage O&M, AEMO/Aurecon 2024 provides indicative BESS annual O&M and EPC benchmarks, but the exact 30 MW Carwarp BESS duration/configuration is not publicly confirmed here, so no benchmark O&M is applied to avoid misclassification. Battery design life defaulted to 20 years from AEMO/Aurecon indicative LFP battery assumptions.
