Notes
No project-specific greenfield capex announcement located in available web results for Comet Park BESS - KCI. Use of AEMO/CSIRO benchmark capex was not applied because the capex search priority requires a project-specific figure first. AEMO 2024 battery storage benchmark parameters were located for fallback use if needed: typical 20-year LFP battery life and 7,300 cycles; however, no specific battery fixed/variable O&M values were extracted here because the request prioritised plant-specific financial assumptions and the available results did not provide a clearly attributable BESS O&M line item for this project. The site is publicly announced at 189 MW / 600 MWh in NSW.
