Notes
Plant-specific greenfield capex was found in Shine Energy materials and media coverage citing the developer: proposed cost about $2 billion for a ~1000 MW Collinsville coal-fired power station. No authoritative project-specific operating cost, heat rate, emissions intensity, or fuel contract data was located in the searched sources. AEMO technical reports confirm the Collinsville project is the only coal-fired development in progress in Australia, but those reports were not used for reported capex because a project-specific announcement exists. The project appears to remain proposed/under feasibility rather than commissioned.
