Notes
Project-specific construction cost of A$150 million was listed in the Western Downs Development Status Report 2024 for Chances Plain Solar Farm (100 MW) by juwi Renewable Energy Pty Ltd. O&M and life assumptions use AEMO/Aurecon 2024 solar PV benchmark values; single-axis tracking is consistent with the AEMO/Aurecon solar PV report for mid-size utility PV.
