Notes
No project-specific greenfield capex announcement was found for EASTCRK2 or the Eastern Creek 2 Gas Utilisation Facility in the searched official/developer/government sources. O&M and operating assumptions were therefore anchored to AEMO's 2024 technology review hypothetical biogas/landfill-gas reciprocating-engine case, which indicates landfill gas/waste gas reciprocating engines in the NEM and provides a 2024 CAPEX/O&M benchmark. The facility appears to be part of the broader Eastern Creek Renewable Energy Facility / landfill gas systems at Eastern Creek, but no separately attributable capex for this DUID was located.
