$4.43M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$4.20M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
The AEMO reference wind project total annual O&M is AUD 17.36 million; this is not site-specific, but supports the per-MW benchmark.

How this was derived
AEMO 2024 review gives the fixed O&M benchmark for onshore wind at AUD 28,000 per MW per year.

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

How this was derived
No verified plant-specific or AEMO onshore-wind variable O&M value was located in the searched sources, so the supplied fallback was used.

Notes
No project-specific greenfield capex or commissioning date could be verified from the searched sources. Used AEMO 2024 onshore wind benchmark O&M and a server-side fallback only for variable O&M. The AEMO 2024 review states fixed O&M cost for wind is AUD 28,000/MW-year and total annual O&M is AUD 17.36 million for the reference 620 MW plant, implying the same per-MW basis. Derwent Valley is listed as a Tasmania location factor in the AEMO review, but that does not constitute a plant-specific capex or O&M quote.
