Notes
No plant-specific greenfield investment cost for Corop BESS was found in searched official/company/government sources. Owner/developer materials confirm the project is in planning as a proposed 440 MW solar farm and BESS, but do not disclose total project capex. AEMO/Aurecon 2024 BESS benchmark values were used only as fallback assumptions for operating and capital proxies, not as reported project cost. For a 200 MW reference BESS, AEMO/Aurecon indicates total EPC cost of AUD 170.5 million and total annual O&M cost of AUD 1.8 million; scaled to 400 MW, this implies the adopted fallback fixed OPEX of AUD 3.6 million per year and 9000 AUD/MW-year. The project-specific storage MWh and commissioning date were not found in the searched sources.
