Notes
Publicly available sources describe Cobbora as a 700 MWac solar facility plus a 400 MW / 1600 MWh BESS, developed by Pacific Partnerships/CIMIC. A reported total project cost of AUD 1.38 billion was found in project reporting/news coverage and attributed to the full solar-plus-storage project. Because the user-provided capacity is 1000 MW and the source cost appears to cover a different capacity/configuration, the capex_per_mw_aud is a mechanical division of the reported total by 1000 MW and should be treated cautiously.
