Notes
Plant-specific greenfield investment figure found for the 4 MW Eastern Creek Renewable Power Project associated with BINGO Industries' Eastern Creek Ecology Park; this appears to be the best available proxy for the Eastern Creek 2 Gas Utilisation Facility, but the source does not explicitly name the DUID or confirm the full 4.49 MW registered capacity. LMS Energy site pages confirm an Eastern Creek Utilisation Facility at Ferrers Road, Eastern Creek, but no project-specific capex was found there. O&M and performance defaults were taken from AEMO/Aurecon waste/gas technology parameters for waste-to-energy/gasification/landfill-gas style plants; the landfill-gas specific cost line item found in AEMO materials was used as a proxy.
