How this was derived
Set to zero for solar PV because no plant-specific variable O&M was found and solar fuel cost is nil.

Notes
Project-specific construction cost was reported as approximately AUD 640 million in the NSW planning economic impact assessment, attributed to information provided by Neoen. The source does not explicitly state the value year; 2020 is used as the construction/planning year associated with the assessment. Solar PV plants have a technical and operational life of 30 years in the AEMO/Aurecon review. No plant-specific O&M figure was found, so no O&M estimate is populated here.
