Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement for Dawson Wind Farm was found in the searched official owner/developer or government sources. The project is currently described in EPBC materials as a proposed up to 600 MW wind farm with 500 MW / 1000 MWh BESS, developed by Highland Energy Australia Pty Ltd (an EDF-related SPV). Because no reported project investment figure was located, capex and O&M are left unfilled rather than inferred from benchmarks. Onshore wind benchmark values from AEMO/CSIRO 2024 are available if a fallback estimate is later required.
