Capex total (greenfield)

Shown in table
$74.63M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$60.00M (2021 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Used as the only project-specific Dalby-area cost announcement found, but it relates to a smaller 2.4 MW hybrid project rather than the requested 4.94 MW Dalby Solar Farm.

Table total may differ if recalculated from $/MW × registered capacity after CPI adjustment.

How this was derived
Annualised by multiplying the benchmark fixed O&M rate by the site capacity of 4.94 MW.

Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
AEMO/Aurecon benchmark for a 4.99 MW ground-mount solar PV plant, used as the operating assumption fallback.

Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Solar PV variable O&M is included in fixed O&M in the benchmark source, so a separate variable O&M is set to zero.

Notes
Plant-specific capex evidence was not found for this exact 4.94 MW site and owner. The closest project-specific source found was FRV's Dalby Hybrid Power Plant announcement stating work had begun on a $60 million project comprising 2.4 MW solar PV and a 2.5 MW/5 MWh battery near Dalby; this appears to be a different, smaller hybrid asset, so capex_total_aud is likely an over-matched proxy and should be reviewed. O&M defaults were taken from AEMO/Aurecon's 2024 solar PV review for a 4.99 MW ground-mount system, using fixed O&M of $13,360/MWp-year and annualised to site capacity. Variable O&M, fuel cost, heat rate and emissions are set to solar defaults.
