Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement was found in official owner/government searches. Eastern Creek is a landfill-gas-to-energy facility with more than 160 gas wells and pipework installed since 2008, and NSW Government materials indicate the facility will continue operating for 15 to 20 years. The O&M assumptions use AEMO 2025 reciprocating engine retirement/O&M estimates as the closest available benchmark for a landfill-gas reciprocating engine plant.
