Notes
I could not find a plant-specific greenfield capex announcement for Direk BESS from the owner/developer or government sources in the available search results. Available sources confirm Direk BESS is a completed battery project in South Australia and identify BESS DIREK PTY LTD as the owner, but do not provide a project investment value. In the absence of a verified plant-specific capex figure, capex remains unset rather than applying a benchmark. O&M values were not found from a project-specific source, so internal defaults are retained as fallback inputs only.
