Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement located in web search. EPBC referral materials identify the project as two BESS assets totaling 550 MW / 3,399 MWh (400 MW / 1,950 MWh for Columboola West and 150 MW / 1,449 MWh for Columboola East), with construction proposed to commence in Q2 2026 and take about 21 months. GenCost 2024-25 notes large-scale battery costs fell by 20% year-on-year, but the report page opened here did not expose a usable project-specific $/kW benchmark; therefore I have not substituted a benchmark capex value. Fixed OPEX, efficiency, and asset life were not located from a high-quality source in the search results.
