Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement could be verified from owner/developer or government sources in the available search results. The accessible project page for Cobden BESS describes a different development (75 MW / 300 MWh) and does not match the user-provided 60 MW / 240 MWh Quintas unit, so it was not used as a capex basis. ARES project material indicates a 40-year operational life for a Cobden BESS project, but this appears to refer to the ARES-developed project rather than the Quintas unit. If you want, I can do a second-pass search focused on Quintas, AEMO registration records, planning permits, and finance announcements to try to resolve the capex and operating assumptions more precisely.
