Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

Capex total (greenfield)	$334.32M Shown in table $334.32M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $316.93M (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Used internal fallback benchmark because no project-specific investment cost was found in public sources.
Capex refurbishment	—
Capex / MW derived	$1,160,338 Shown in table $1.16M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $1.10M (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived User-provided server-side fallback capex per MW was used because no project-specific greenfield capex announcement was found.
Fixed OPEX (annual)	$5.47M Shown in table $5.47M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $5.19M (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Calculated as fixed O&M per MW-year multiplied by 288.12 MW.
Fixed OPEX / MW-yr	$18,987 Shown in table $19.0k (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $18.0k (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived User-provided fallback fixed O&M rate used due to absence of plant-specific O&M disclosure.
Variable OPEX / MWh	$0.21 Shown in table $0.21 (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $0.20 (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived User-provided fallback variable O&M rate used.

Notes
No project-specific greenfield capex figure was found in owner/developer, council, or regulator materials. Therefore AEMO/CSIRO-style benchmark fallback values were used for capex and O&M. The project is described as a 288 MW fixed-tilt/single-axis-tracker solar farm near George Town, Tasmania; the public project materials available did not disclose total investment cost.
