Notes
Cooroy BESS is a proposed 100 MW / 400 MWh battery project in Cooroy, Queensland, with development commencement shown by Enervest as 9 January 2023 and expected completion 9 September 2024 on an earlier project page; a later PDF indicates up to 200 MWh, so project sizing appears to have changed over time. I could not find any plant-specific greenfield construction/investment cost announcement from Enervest, government, or project finance sources in the searched material, so capex remains unfilled and should not be inferred from benchmarks without further review. For a battery BESS, fuel cost and heat rate are not applicable.
