Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement was found for the Cattle Creek Wind Farm battery. The project is still in development, and RWE states a BESS will be included, with initial operations targeted for 2028. NEMStats lists the battery component as publicly announced with 200 MW capacity. Fallback operating assumptions use the provided server-side defaults; fixed OPEX annualised from 200 MW × AUD 25,000/MW-yr.
